STR: 1. add some lines to scratchpad 2. use keyboard to select multiple lines 3. try to select past the penultimate line Expected: The final line is highlighted Actual: The final line is not highlighted, but the selection still responds to keyboard events

I think this is a cross-platform problem. I can reproduce it in Linux and Windows. Usually, selection should stop at a point beyond which the caret hasn't traversed, but I might be wrong. If this is a bug to fix in Linux and Windows, I could take it up.

If you do Shift-Down you can't move the cursor to some offset that doesn't exist on the next line. This needs to be special-cased in Orion's upstream code to go to the end of the line when it's the last line. Similar for Shift-Up.

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion for how to get started.

Orion upstream has fixed the bug. That fix will land in Firefox with the next Orion update we will do.
fixed by upstream changes. Closing. Filter on BLACKEAGLE?!
