Comment #17 on issue 9842 by progame: Pressing Ctrl while Shift-Left breaking cursor position http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9842
what i can reproduce is i think exactly what you wrote: in an English Gmail and originally LTR text After press "ctrl+shift", the text changed to be RTL In plain text, continuing press "shift+left arrow", the text becomes unselected from the *left* (which is correct) > In plain text, the selection "end" stays the same when text > direction is changed. But in rich text, the original selection > "start" became selection "end" after text direction is changed. selection end should stay the same (as it is in plaintext and as it is when changing direction using the richtext buttons instead of keyboard) > Looks like in IE, when there is selection, "ctrl-shift" does not work > anymore they fixed that in IE8 > But I could not make "ctrl+shift" work in FF they use Ctrl+Shift+X (which is absolutely horrible as it's the only windows program i know to do that) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
