Details

On Linux only, the Shift key behaves like the Control key when viewing the
following HTML:

<select multiple name=testcase size=4>
<option value=John>John Lennon</option>
<option value=George>George Harrison</option>
<option value=Paul>Paul McCartney</option>
<option value=Ringo>Ringo Starr</option>
</select>

I would expect the Shift key to select multiple items (ie if John is
highlighted, shift-clicking on Ringo should select all 4 items). However, it
behaves like the Control key (ie if John is highlighted, shift-clicking on Ringo
selects Ringo but not George and Paul).

This works correctly on Windows and not at all on Mac OS (see bug 4777 for the
Mac info).

highlighting but that's documented elsewhere afaik.)
