Description zhongqiyao 2011-07-01 10:25:21 UTC 
Version: 3.3 (latest official release)
Operating System: Windows 7
Language of OO and OS: Chinese (complex, also known as traditional)

1. Click your cursor (mouse) into text to position the caret (text cursor).

2. Do Shift+LeftArrow or Shift+RightArrow.  It selects text.  Fine.

3. Now, do Shift+PgDn (Shift+PageDown) or Shift+PgUp (Shift+PageUp).

PROBLEM: It only moves the caret.

EXPECTATION: It should select.

RELATED FEATURES: Please also test Shift plus other caret-moving
keys, e.g. Home, End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End, etc.

Thanks.

This only happened once under Windows 7.
When I started Windows and did that again several times.
It was normal.

I will see whether the problem still happens it the next several weeks.

Thanks.

Now, I could not reproduce the problem that "Shift+PgDn"
does not select text.

But I have found a problem that Shift+LeftMouseButton can select text.
But after that if you do Shift+LeftMouseButton outside the selected
area, you can change the selected area, but if you do Shift+LeftMouseButton
inside the selected area, you cannot change the selected area.

Thanks.

I could not replicate the "Shift+PageDown not selecting text” on a Windows 7 machine using OOo -dev 3.4 Beta 1.

I was able to replicate the "Shift+PgDn not selecting text” on a Windows 7 machine using OOo version 3.3.  

Here are the steps I used to test in both versions and in MS Word 2010:

Test A:
1. Create a 2 page document.
2. Click your cursor (mouse) to the beginning of the document to position the caret (text cursor).
3. Do Shift+LeftArrow to select a few characters.
4. Do Shift+PageDown multiple times to select text.  
5. Do Shift+PageUp multiple times to deselect text.
6. Do Shift+PageDown multiple times until the entire document is selected.
7. Do Shift+PageUp multiple times to deselect all the text.
Test A Results:
Version 3.3 – The Shift+PageDown in step 4 did not select the text.
Version 3.4 – The text was selected/deselected for all steps.  I found after executing step 7 to deselect the text it appeared a block of text was still selected.  
MS Word 2010 - The text was selected/deselected for all steps.
  
Test B:
1. Create a 2 page document.
2. Click your cursor (mouse) to the middle of the document to position the caret (text cursor).
3. Do Shift+LeftArrow to select a few characters.
4. Do Shift+PageDown multiple times to select text.  
5. Do Shift+PageUp multiple times to deselect text.
6. Do Shift+PageDown multiple times until the entire document is selected.
7. Do Shift+PageUp multiple times to deselect all the text.

Test B Results:
Version 3.3 – The Shift+PageDown in step 4 selected the text the first attempt, but when I did a second Shift+PageDown the text was not selected.
Version 3.4 – The text was selected/deselected for all steps.  I found after executing step 7 to deselect the text it appeared a block of text was still selected.  
MS Word 2010 - The text was selected/deselected for all steps.

Shift-PgUp and Shift-PgDn work fine for me on a Windows 7 system, using 3.4 (build 9583)
Comment 5 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2012-06-13 12:18:23 UTC 
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
Comment 6 Edwin Sharp 2013-08-29 13:24:48 UTC 
Contrary to comment 4 - can not select text with shift+page up or shift+page down.
