--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
No, this is not valid requirement.

<Ctrl>+<Shift> with cursor <Right, or Left> currently modifies selection and
repositions text cursor to beginning or end of the run. Resulting selection
includes a trailing space so break at word bound.

It also correctly observes RTL/LTR sense of the locale. 

And what is uniquely StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice text handling, a <Shift>
with cursor <Right, or Left> then allows adjustment of selection, one character
at a time.

See no functional requirement to change what is the
StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice way--which currently provides consistent
cursor selection of words/lines/paragraphs.[1]  As implemented in edit
engine(s) the <Ctrl><Shift> cursor combos alone work at word bounds/line bounds
for cursor movement within selections.

Implementation remains correct and suited to task, that it does not exactly
match other text editors is not a valid design requirement.

IMHO => WF
