Comment #29 on issue 9762 by archer884: Regression: Shift+Ctrl+Arrow selection combination also changes text direction in RTL UIs http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9762
As a tech writer (who necessarily spends a lot of time writing) I'd like to point out that this issue is quite infuriating and that I've now wasted a good bit of company time tracking down this "feature." I'll not argue that the shortcut in Chrome should be different from the shortcut already used in Windows, but I will point out that--if the behavior is enabled for all users--it _is_ different, as--like other commenters above--I have never encountered this before and, in testing carried out in five other applications on my system, I have not seen the same behavior replicated. In short, I'd be fine with this if it did work the same way that Windows RTL function does--but it at least manages to stay out of the user's way there. Non-RTL users have been using the same systems as RTL users for a good while now, and if we're just now finding it "strange" in Chrome, that's good evidence that better localization is possible. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
