Select a text in DrRacket with mouse. It is then impossible to use keys (shift+arrow) to shrink the selection (although extending is possible).
See the attached GIF.

Trace the selection handling from that entry point and verify that keyboard shrinking works after mouse selection while extension continues to work.
