Description Stephan Wahlbrink CLA 2021-12-09 16:29:34 EST 
Pos1 moves the cursor from selection end to selection start in text editors:

1. In a text editor, add line with indent and text (e.g. "  test")
2. Set cursor to the line start
3. Select the line by pressing End key (or Arrow Down)
   => the line is selected
      the cursor is at the selection end
4. Press Pos1
   => only the indent is selected
      the cursor is at the selection start
   
Expected: the cursor remains at the selection end

It was working as expected in previous Eclipse versions.
Comment 2 Stephan Wahlbrink CLA 2021-12-09 16:41:34 EST 
In the steps, I forgot Shift key for the selection actions:
 2. Line Start
 3. Shift + End 
 4. Shift + Pos1
