What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type some text "Example text here".
2. Position the cursor at the right hand end of "here".
3. Use ctrl+shift+left arrow to select "text here".
4. Release ctrl and use shift+left arrow to continue selection one character.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected selection " text here".
Actual selection is just the space before "text".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3.4.0 Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
I originally wrote the example above with a single use of ctrl+shift+left arrow 
followed by the use of shift+left arrow.  This seems to work fine.
Also using the right arrow for selection seems to work however you use it.

Cannot reproduce here.

After step 4 the letter t of text is selected as expected.  Is this a keyboard 
issue?
Can you reproduce on a different machine?

I don't think you are trying the same thing as me - I would not expect anything 
particularly special about the letter "t" of "text".  I think I have also 
reproduce on my home computer, but I am not there at the moment - I'll check 
this later.  I would like to clarify the issue I'm seeing though.  The general 
idea is to select 2 words and then one character using ctrl+shift+arrow, 
ctrl+shift+arrow, shift+arrow.

I've attached three images showing my attempt to select using pyscripter and 
notepad to the left and to the right (pyscripter only).  The sequence that 
doesn't seem to work is selecting to the left with pyscripter.  Each image is a 
screen shot from after steps 2, 3 and 4 (the pyscripter right arrow image has 
slightly different steps, but hopefully they are apparent from the image).

Ah great!  You replied while I was preparing comment 3.  Thanks for the great 
product by the way.
