My key bindings use Ctrl+F to open Find/replace and to return to the
definitions window. I use that to open find and to return to definitions
all the time (not mouse clicks.)
Your key sequence works correctly, but only when the Replace text box,
Replace and Skip buttons are hidden.
Once they are visible again the weird selection starts.
Make them hidden - everything returns to normal.
It is a consistent on/off switch.
Here is something else I've noticed that may be related using the Edit menu.
1) Open File.
2) Edit menu -- available items in Edit menu include Find/Find Next/Find
Previous and Show Replace
3) Select Show Replace -> Shows Find/replace window
4) Edit menu -- available items in Edit menu now include Find/Find
Next/Find Previous/Hide Replace/Replace and Replace All
5) Select Hide Replace -> Hides the Replace text box, Replace and Skip
buttons.
6) Edit menu -- available items in Edit menu now include Show Replace
and Replace All. Find/Find Next/Find Previous and Replace are disabled.
Thanks for replying on a Saturday!

That doesn't seem to be it for me. Could it be that switching back and
forth causes you to go into the bad mode? That is, if you do this:
- open the find/replace window
- click to set the focus to the definitions window
- type left and then right (without the shift key down)
- shift-left twice
- shift-right three times
do things work properly?
I think I see a bug whereby typing cmd-f to go out of the definitions
window and then cmd-f again to go back in (you probably have slightly
different keybindings to go in and out but they should have the same
effect) that the definitions window "forgets" what its anchor was and
shift-left and shift-right stop working properly.

After lots of head scratching and experimenting I have a consistent
cause.
It seems like the Search and Replace bar causes some problem.
It is only happening when the Replace text box is visible.
This weird behaviour disappears if the I click the Hide Replace
button or choose Hide Replace from the Edit menu.
I've also noticed that S:C:R stops working after the Replace text
box and buttons have disappeared. That is I can't Hide, then Re show
the Replace text box.
I hope that helps you fix the problem, but I'm pretty happy now I
know how to get the correct operation back again.
Thanks,

This sounds like a bug in the implementation of the shift-left and
shift-right keybindings.
If you can give some kind of a step by step procedure to get
into the
bad state, then I think we can probably fix it.

I'm having a problem editing programs using DrRacket. This
happened
once before but went away after re-installing. [1].
I'm having the same issue again. Basically the behaviour of
text
selection is changes while I open and edit different files
running a
single instance of DrRacket.
If I select some text and then press SHIFT+Left instead of
altering
the selection based on the current cursor position, the
selection is
extended left from the beginning of the text currently
selected.
Similarly for SHIFT+Right - it extends the text selection one
character to the right from the end of the selection rather
than the
current cursor position. Same for SHIFT+Down, SHIFT+Up.
Is there some key binding or setting in DrRacket that
controls the
way text selection is handled that I am accidentally hitting?
It doesn't happen in any other editor - it's specific to
DrRacket.
If I quit DrRacket and re-open it normal operation
continues for a
while again. I don't know if it's a bug or some setting in
DrRacket
that I am unaware of.
My current specs are:
Arch Linux 64 bit:
Linux 3.10.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
DrRacket 5.3.6.
(This is a version I compiled myself - but it's the same
using the
Arch binary package - racket 5.3.6-1)
Can someone offer any advice?
