That doesn't sound right. If I have a text area that contains "\n\n",
positioning the caret at 0 should insert before the first newline and
positioning it at 1 should insert before the second newline.
> SHIFT+DOWN keystroke within TextArea do not expand the selection past an

>
> SHIFT+UP & SHIFT+DOWN keystrokes can be used to expand the selection to the
> previous or next line respectively.
> However SHIFT+DOWN fails to extend the selection past an empty line.
> SHIFT+UP appears to work as expected
> Given the following text, and the caret positioned at the start of the
> TextArea, the first press of SHIFT+DOWN will select 'abc', the second will
> also select 'def', but third and subsequent presses will have no effect due
> to an empty 3rd line.
> 'abc <newline>
> def <newline>
> <empty line>
> ghi'
> Workaround by using the mouse, or SHIFT+LEFT & SHIFT+RIGHT
