Comment #4 on issue 9842 by progame: Pressing Ctrl while Shift-Left  
breaking cursor position
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9842

OK i now see what you mean:

i first thought it is related to Issue 8141 but i think i now see what's  
the problem.
The selection in the Gmail textarea seems to be wrong, after Ctrl+Shift is  
pressed it changes
dirctionality (after the text is RTLed, selection continues from the  
begining of the election
instead of the end)

BUT i think the real issue is Ctrl+Shift should not function there at all
probably related to the fact it is a richtext textarea with buttons to  
change dirctionality
in the richtext toolbar

IE and FF can't change diretionality of that textarea as long as it is set  
as richtext and
not plaintext (FF actually still have that option in in its context menu  
but that option does
nothing)

so i am guessing selection shouldn't work there in the "RTLed" state  
because the text isn't
really RTLed (it does work when the text is RTLed using the richtext  
buttons)

the issue is IMO: Ctrl+Shift shouldn't change directionality in richtext  
text areas
(unless there is a way to make it work correctly but making the combinatin  
actually change
richtext formatting is probably a real headache)
