Agreed that this is application-specific.

That's because it hasn't been implemented in TextInput.  :-)  Feel free to 
submit a JIRA ticket for this.

I won't say that this is exactly "by design", but it is intentional. The 
current selection behavior was easiest to implement (note that it is also the 
same behavior as in previous releases). It's not ideal, but I think it is good 
enough for now. We can revisit it in a future update.
