Build Identifier: M20090917-0800

If you select some text by using Shift+Up (to select from the bottom to the top) when you press Tab to indent the block the cursor jumps to the end of the block instead of staying where it was.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Shift+Up to select a few lines of text
2. Press Tab
3. Observe cursor has moved, and you have to press Up a few times to get back to where you started

Not exactly an answer to your whole bug report, but if you just want to jump to the beginning of the selection, you can press the ARROW_LEFT key once (no matter if the caret was at the start or the end of the selection).

Oh, thanks for the pointer - it may not be a complete solution but it's certainly a better workaround than I've got right now :-)
