Description
Describe the bug
In lyrics mode, Ctrl + right/left should move the cursor forward or back one syllable and highlight the newly-selected syllable (just like Space or Shift+Space does).
This has stopped working in MS4.
Expected behavior
Same as MS3.
Platform information
OS: Linux Mint 20.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-3216906122, revision: github-musescore-musescore-eb51740

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right behavior in lyrics mode on the reported MS4 version, then compare it with MS3 and with Space or Shift+Space navigation. Done means both shortcuts move the cursor by one syllable and highlight the newly selected syllable.
