           Summary: failure to select characters via keyboard
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Version:           3.2.0 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.10-default

I am using KDevelop 3.3 on Linux, and Exceed V7.0 (on Windows) as my X server. I am having a problem with selecting characters using the keyboard - only when the active editor is the "embedded advanced text editor". Whenever I hold down the SHIFT key, and try to select text using the arrow keys, nothing happens. (I can select text using the mouse, and I can use the SHIFT+arrow technique in other applications, such as "gedit"). The same bug exists in "kate" and "kwrite".
