Research direction

Reproduce in desktop mode on Windows 11 with version 8.10: create a multiline cursor using Alt + Mouse 1, then test Shift, Arrow, Home, End, navigation, selection, and copying. Compare the same actions with version 8.9; done means keyboard navigation and selection, plus copying selected text, work again.
