Re: [orca-list] Likely bug with Office Writer, was: Re: More on submitting Orca bugs

After seeing this, I believe Word and Windows does the same thing. If I 
have my cursor halfway through a line, then press SHIFT+DOWN, the 
selection will wrap to end the selection on the next line just below the 
start of the selection on the line above it. In fact, testing this while 
I write this email, selecting from the word "I" in the first line by 
pressing SHIFT+DOWN, takes the end of the selection just after the word 
"press". It would be worth seeing what happens when using SHIFT+END on 
the first line, then using SHIFT+DOWN.
