Video showing the top bottom arrow navigation fail

SUMMARY
In the new version of Dolphin (selection style has changed), navigation with top and bottom arrow doesn't work as expected anymore when we switch from mouse to keyboard, it often jumps to wrong places. Contrary to left right arrow that still works as expected.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a dolphin folder that has multiple lines of content.
2. Using arrow keys, move top/bottom
3. Select an other place (not same column) with the cursor
4. Move again top or bottom with arrow keys

OBSERVED RESULT
The place where moving goes is not the one above or below the selected place,
it instead goes at the wrong column (the one from a previous selection that have since been replaced) but still goes at the expected height/line (the line above or below the new selected line).

EXPECTED RESULT
Moving should completely be relative to the last selected position (line and column, using top/bottom or left/right) even when switching from mouse to keyboard.
Left/Right is working as expected, Top/Bottom should work the same way.
