Title:
   Kate: navigation keys do not cancel mark

Status in ktexteditor package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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
