Description

search "define quorum" in google. a definition box should appear then press '/' to enter search mode and type "the min" and press enter, or take the cursor to that position using your mouse. then press 'V' to enter Visual/caret mode. the whole line must be selected, then you might want to also select the line bellow, so you would press j to also select that but you will realize that a whole lot of things will be selected. then you would try to get back by pressing k to fix your selection but you will realize that you won't be able to make it. also I have had this many times that In that mode I can go down with j/l but I can't really go back up with k/h. I'm using Firefox by the way.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem in Firefox using a Google search for "define quorum", then enter search mode and caret/visual mode as described. Investigate caret-mode selection movement with j, k, h, and l; done means moving back upward can correctly reduce or repair the selection instead of selecting unrelated content.
