Using Ctrl-Shift-Right arrow to select a word in a textarea or an iframe with desingMode=on jumps to the next line and scrolls horizontal scrollbar all the way to the left.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. paste text content to an iframe with enabled designMode (eg. gmail's email body). Text has to long so there is horizontal scrollbar
2. scroll horizontally to the right and select text using CRTL-SHIFT-RIGHT key until the last word is selected

Actual Results:  
caret jumps to the next line when the last word is selected and scrolls all the way to the left. 

Expected Results:  
the last word should be selected, but the caret shouldn't jump to the next line

This nasty little bugger gets me frustrated at least once a day because I use shift-selecting most of the time (rather than selecting with the mouse).

I submitted bug 556059 because I didn't see this similar one had already been reported.  I just wanted to point out that I attached some screen shots to 556059 in case that's of any use.  Thanks!
