Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346
Steps to reproduce:
Firefox 57.0, macOS 10.13 (17A405)
1. Navigate to any page containing text
2. Double click on any word
3. Hold down shift and press the left arrow key
Actual results:
The text selection is reduced by one character on the right side.
Expected results:
The text selection should be extended by one character on the left side.
Following macOS text selection conventions, double-clicking on a word should leave the text selection with a flexible anchor. When the user uses a modify-selection key binding (shift-arrow key) the text selection should always be extended (and anchored on the opposite side). See the behavior in Safari, Chrome, TextEdit, etc.
