In order to reproduce the bug: [1] Open new text document. [2] In the status bar select a selection mode which is not the ‘Standard selection’. [3] Insert some text. [4] Select some text with the selected selection mode. [5] Suppose your selection is not correct and you like to make a new selection: Delete selection with ‘Esc’. The selection is deleted and the selection mode is reset to ‘Standard selection’. Expected: Selection mode should not change. Bug also exists in version 4.4.0.2.

I'll hand this to UX for their input. Status -> NEW Component -> ux-advise Hardware -> (generalize)
