RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1912416

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

  1. select the entire text in the address bar (Ctrl + A or just a simple click)
  2. shrink the selection by a word by Ctrl + Shift + ←

Actual results:

The selection shrinks by a single word for a brief moment (maybe shorter than 100ms) and then the selection gets reset with the cursor at the beginning.

Shrinking the selection by a character (Shift + ←) works fine.

I'm on Linux with Plasma desktop (Wayland), but it persists on Windows 11 too.
I CANNOT reproduce it on macOS; ⇧ + ⌥ + ← works properly.

Expected results:

The selection shrinks by a single word
