Description froses 2009-03-23 10:34:54 UTC 
When I select text using Ctrl-Right arrow the behaviour is bizarre. The text 
selected is the next word "and" the next white space. If I select text using 
Ctrl-Left arrow, the behaviour seems OK.

For example: I have two sentences in two paragraphs:
Create a new document

Create a second new document 

1. Put the cursor just before the "new" word "n" character (first paragraph)  
2. Hit Ctrl-Right Arrow keys
3. The selected text is "new " (IMHO, must be "new")
4. Hit Ctrl-Right Arrow another time
5. The selected text is "new document         " and the cursor is just before 
"Create" in the second paragraph
6. Put the cursor just after "w" in the first paragraph
7. Hit Ctrl-Left arrow
8. The selected text is "new" (as expected...)

Best regards,

Francesc Rosés

This is a normal behavior.
Compare with Word, Wordpad, Notepad.

Hello, 

I don't agree. When you do the second Ctrl-Shift, the cursor is positioned 
before the first word of second paragraph. In Word is positioned just at the end 
of first paragraph. In OpenOffice the selection expands to the end of screen 
line and the cursor is positioned just before the first word in the second 
paragraph.

Best regards,
