--------------------------------------

Actually, there was still a bug in the Shift-Right selection logic after a click, then double-click the word before it, delete the word, then try Shift-Right.  Will get IllegalArgumentException "selectionLength is negative".

Fixed in trunk:

> Currently (in TextArea at least) if you type Shift-Down and select a line or two, then do Shift-Up it will extend the beginning of the area, instead of reducing the end that you just extended.  This is not how any other editor works.  
> Also would like to have double-click select the "word" the mouse is pointing to, as other editors do.
> We'd like TextArea and TextPane (at least, maybe TextInput also) do the same things.
