Description
I use this a lot to select one or multiple lines. Is this a changed setting or a bug?
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
In a file with text and multiple lines, press shift, and then press the up or down arrows. It used to select multiple lines, but it doesn't anymore, and the cursor just stays in place.
Normal selection works just fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in micro 2.0.11 using the stated Manjaro Linux and xfce4-terminal setup, then trace the keyboard handling and selection behavior; no source file or test is named in the report. Done means Shift+Up and Shift+Down select one or more lines again without breaking normal selection, with coverage for the regression if the project’s test structure supports it.
