Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-31 10:00:35 EST 
If your Windows Accessibility settings have stiecky keys enabled you cannot 
shift select text.

STEPS
1) Open a text editor
2) Shift select some text
3) Enable Control Panel-> Accessibility -> Sticky Keys 
4) Attempt to shift select by pushing (the releasing) shift then the right 
arrow key - it will work like the unshifted arrow key

Note this is consistent with Notepad so I suspect this is platform behaviour
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-03-14 13:22:12 EST 
Defer as it is consistent with the UI.
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:25:48 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
