[OS X TeX] Selecting text in TexShop, a bug?

[lichtner]

The behavior I see is if I select some text, press shift and the back 
arrow, the selection field increases from the beginning of the 
selection. If, however, I select text by pressing the shift key and the 
right arrow and then press the back arrow the selection field decreases 
from the end of the selection. Doesn't seem to matter how big the 
selection is. I also find I can go past the original selection.
