Created attachment 366465 [details] Testcase Load the attachment, type a bunch of text into the input, and then arrow around: the caret moves in the direction you expect. Now shift-arrow: the selection is extended in the wrong direction. This works in Firefox.

Yeah, the selection is always extended in logical direction.

That's really odd when arrow keys move the caret in the physical direction.

(In reply to Simon Fraser (smfr) from comment #3) > That's really odd when arrow keys move the caret in the physical direction. To support extending / shirnking selection in visual direction, we need to support multi-range selection or weird stuff happens.

I am able to reproduce this in WebKit ToT (259906@main) and it matches with Chrome Canary 112 while Firefox Nightly 111 show caret in the end of the text and also Shift+Arrow keys also behave opposite of Safari & Chrome.
