Description Ben Davey 2014-01-15 17:55:54 PST 
If you try to change the selection between a Shift + Left key down and Left key up event, the selection bias is reversed (i.e. anchorOffset/focusOffset are switched)
This appears to be a bug in webkit derived browsers only, and does not appear to happen on Internet explorer or firefox.

A demonstration can be found at:
http://jsfiddle.net/3Wpc8/

To reproduce the bug:
-open the jsfiddle, and select the word "two". 
- hold shift and press the left arrow key
- observe that the offsets are reversed rather than the expected behavior (..decrementing the focusOffset)
