[Bug 1958090] [NEW] Kate: navigation keys do not cancel mark

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron):

SUMMARY
Pressing a navigation key without SHIFT does not cancel a mark.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I mark a piece of text in Kate with SHIFT+DOWN key and press CTRL+C. When I now press the DOWN key (without SHIFT) the mark is extended. I have to hit the ESC key to cancel the mark.

OBSERVED RESULT
I have to hit the ESC key to cancel the mark.

EXPECTED RESULT
Using a navigation key (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, PAGE-UP, PAGE-DOWN, HOME, END) without SHIFT should cancel a mark. This worked fine in prior releases of Kate and matches the behavior of other editors.

The problem has been resolved upstream. Please, apply
