When trying to select/change parts of previously visited URLs (from auto-complete), the cursor is moved to the end of the line. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing to bring up URL from history. (for example "www" to bring up "www.thesite.com" and others).
2. Select one of the proposed URLs using the arrow keys.
3. With the auto-complete dropdown still visible, move cursor with ctrl+left to the desired position.
4. Press shift+left/right to select part of the URL to highlight/change.
Actual Results:  
The cursor is moved to the end of the line instead of selecting text. The next time a part of the text is selected, it works as expected.

Expected Results:  
Text being selected/highlighted.

Tested on different computers, with the same results.
