try this:
1. in the comment box below enter "hello world" and then push enter a few times
2. put the cursor in the top left corner
3. push ctrl+rightarrow, this should put the cursor at the beginning of "world"
4. push ctrl+rightarrow, this should put the the cursor at the end of "world"

but it doesn't.  it drops the cursor to the bottom of the box, after all the newlines.
