Paragraph selection using ctrl + shift + up/down arrow keys does not work properly

UncouthPlatypus
Making moves

When attempting to select entire paragraphs of text using just the keyboard (CTRL + SHIFT + (UP or DOWN on the arrow keys)), Firefox will only highlight a single line of text instead of the full paragraph. I even tried it in this text edit box for typing this post and it still only selects the current line, not the rest of the paragraph. I am not sure if there is a setting for this, but other browsers do not do this. It is rather annoying when trying to edit text on certain websites. I am unsure if this is an intended behavior or not. But Firefox is the only application on my computer that does this. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or, if possible, provide an update or setting that will change this behavior so that CTRL + SHIFT + (UP or DOWN) selects the rest of the paragraph.

 

Thank you!
