Bug, feature, or just something I need to program around?

[Mark Smith]

Hi Alex, what sequence are you trying to do that won’t work? If you tab into a field and then cmd-arrow (right or left) I think it restores the “selection” behavior you are looking for ie. you can then shift-cmd-right or left to select the chars. Would that be a work-around?
