[Bug 373714] [NEW] The select by keypad is troublesome

[ichhaankur]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When trying to select more than a page-ful of content, holding down the
shift and the "down" key, the selected area behaves oddly.

I was selecting the main article in the middle column for copying, and
the moment the last letter was gone, all the article automatically
deselected and the menu items on the right side got selected.

I tried doing it again and again. It's very hard to see when the article
is ending because the cursor is at the bottom of the screen, so one
can't see what's coming.
