Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs When you hold down shift and you press arrow keys you are selecting text. But only within specific edit-box. Currently Composer behave like you could select text AND combobox near it (try it).
Do you mean when you press right arrow key, it moves to button next to it? I think that is normal behavior. Can you please provide more details and steps to reproduce? I'm bit confused about the report.
run kmail new message enter "to" field type xxx press home, so the care would be before xxx press and hold shift press 3 times right arrow xxx should be selected press right arrow key once more you fell off the edit box -> bug.
Not sure what the right behaviour is here. This doesn't seem like it though.
When you are selecting something program should not break selection. So it should either select more elements or set boundary for selection. In this case selecting next element does not make sense.
