           Summary: Text area selection with keyboard sometimes expand
                    (shift+page down/arrow up)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: olau at hardworking.dk


To reproduce, make some lines in a text area (more than one page) and hit Shift
+ Page Down on the second line followed by Shift + Arrow up. I expect this to
diminish my selection so I have one page selected minus the bottom-most line.
Epiphany and Midori instead expands the selection by adding a line at the top.

I'm not sure whether this is just a bug or intended behaviour, in the latter
case, please reconsider as it is the opposite of every other text area I've
ever tried. :) And it is pretty annoying, e.g. when writing Gmail, it quotes
the original email in full. So I use shift+page down a couple of times to
select most of the quote, then shift+up arrow to fine tune it. I have not yet
discovered how to work around that.
