Not too surprised to hear this :). Thanks for checking.

I wondered what that was for :).

Works great. Thanks!
One more thing: I use Keyboard Maestro for shortcuts, and these two scripts
(Extend Selection Upwards and Extend Selection Downwards) are used
repeatedly, so I am using the "XXX is down" trigger in KM instead of "XXX
is pressed", so that I can press and hold the shortcut and have repeated
executions of the script. This works fine with the Extend Selection
Downwards script above, but with the Extend Selection Upwards script, if I
press and hold the shortcut, I get a recurrence of the bug with each
selection extension deselecting the current selection. OTOH, if I press
repeatedly (releasing the key between each press), the extension works as
intended.
Strange. Any idea what might be causing this?
