There is no bug here. What you describe works as designed. Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down are expected to be used in *sequence*: Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Up, ..., Ctrl+Down, Ctrl+Down, Ctrl+Down. That's why each Ctrl+Up keeps track of the previously selected child. This is not possible with the node path bar which allows you to directly ``jump'' to any ancestor of the selected node.
