Research direction
Reproduce the issue in vanilla Hyper 2.1.0-canary.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 under Xorg using the reported Shift+left-arrow input. Start by tracing keyboard handling for terminal text selection and compare it with the path that types D. Done means Shift+left-arrow selects text without inserting a character, with regression coverage if the relevant test location is found.
