From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 BuildID: 2001062815 When using Ctrl+Shift+Left to select text in a textarea(such as the one in the URL given(which only works when logged in)), the selection stops at the left edge of the textarea, even when there's text on the previous line that should be selected with a second press of the keys. For example, on the page given, copy in this description, and on the last line, press the keys to select everything on the line(start from the far right edge). Once you get to the left edge, no matter how many times you press ctrl+shift+left, the word on the previous line is not selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Find a textarea 2.Type in several lines of text 3.Press Ctrl+Shift+Left at the right side of a line(other than the top one) until you get to the left side. Then press again. Actual Results: nothing happened Expected Results: Mozilla should have selected the last word on the previous line in addition to the current selection. There's a workaround. You can stop pressing ctrl, and press shift+left instead, which will select the last letter of the previous line. Then press Ctrl+Shift+Left again, which will select the entire last word on the previous line(of which the last letter had been previously selected)
