If your Windows Accessibility settings have stiecky keys enabled you cannot 
shift select text.

STEPS
1) Open a text editor
2) Shift select some text
3) Enable Control Panel-> Accessibility -> Sticky Keys 
4) Attempt to shift select by pushing (the releasing) shift then the right 
arrow key - it will work like the unshifted arrow key

Note this is consistent with Notepad so I suspect this is platform behaviour

Defer as it is consistent with the UI.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
