I just found this bug, but appears to be the same as Bug 61534 and Bug 52239.

>From what I can tell, the problem is with with "selection modifying keyboard
actions" no longer changing your cursor cell.  These actions include
shift+arrow keys, shift+ctrl+arrow keys, etc...

Simple steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new spreadsheet
2. Press shift+right

Expected behavior:  Selection contains a1:b1 AND cursor cell moved to b1
Current behavior:   Selection contains a1:b1 and cursor cell stays in a1

The previous (correct) behavior is how it used to work, and how it still works
in current OpenOffice. 

The problem is that ALL actions are based on your cursor cell, so if you start
in a blank column, shift-arrow into some actual data, and then ctrl-shift-down,
it will attempt to go to the bottom of the range, except that the action is
still based off of the cursor cell, which is still in a blank column, so it
goes to the very bottom of the range.

In bug 61534 there are many examples which explain this behavior. In my
opinion, this is a serious regression, as it makes it very difficult for me to
select a blank cell range parallel to a filled one.  It also has the
possibility of destroying previously recorded macros.

I just don't know if this behavior was intentionally changed or if it is a
regression.  Does Excel behave this way?  I don't have access to a current
version to a current version of MS Office to compare. If it was intentional, I
would love to at least have a toggle to enable to original (correct) behavior.

I can also verify that this is still affecting LibreOffice 4.0.2.2, both MS
Windows and Linux.
