Description Larry Eppley 2011-09-25 18:24:22 UTC 
LibreOffice 3.3.3 
OOO330m19 (Build:301)
Ver: 3.3.3.1-5.fc15
Fedora

Problem description: The shift click method of selecting text allows one to increase the text selection, but not to decrease it.  
This is not standard behavior, and will be annoying to MS Word users, in fact to virtually all computer users.  This is a writer problem, and seems not to exist anywhere else in the program. Please, this is a bug and not a feature!

Steps to reproduce:
1.Click in text.
2. Shift-click deeper into text for selection: Text is selected.
3. Shift-click even deeper: Text selection is increased.
3. Then, Shift-click closer to beginning of selection.

Current behavior:  Nothing! As if the expected behavior is disabled.

Expected behavior: Decrease in selection, ending with latest shift-click position.
