Double-click highlight text, then keyboard shortcut to move cursor, should extend highlighted text
When I double click on a string of text, it gets selected/highlighted as expected. However if I then try to extend the selected/highlighted text using keyboard shortcuts, it ends from the right-most position of the already-selected text (so doesnt actually extend the selection), rather than from the left-most.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a file containing multiple words
- Double click on one word to select it
- Use keyboard shortcuts to highlight and move cursor (e.g
Ctrl + Shift + right
) to end of text you want to select

Please see gif that demonstrates how it works in VSCode (most other text editors extend selected text like the VSCode example):
