The line before the current caret is selected when I start to code a new line and press SHIFT+TAB to adjust the indention, which is not a normal style for editor in my opinion. Maybe this issue could be fixed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press ENTER to start to code a new line
2. Press SHIFT+TAB to adjust the indention
3. The part of the line before the caret is selected

Shift+Tab is assigned to Shift Left.  The selection is part of the shift operation, i.e. works as expected.
