Opt+Shift+Arrow within Address bar on macOS does not select text

[itzkakarot]

Description

Within the Address Bar, holding Option + Shift while pressing the left or right arrow key is supposed to select whole words at a time. This worked fine in previous version of Brave. Today, pressing Opt+Shift+Left Arrow doesn't do anything, unless you release the key combination and press Option a second time, then the appropriate Select action will occur.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Place cursor within Address Bar, preferably at the end of a word or before a slash
2. Hold Option and Shift, press the Left arrow key

Actual result:

Cursor doesn't move, and no text gets selected. You must press Option a second time and then the text gets selected as expected.

Expected result:

All the text of the last "word" should be selected. Words are separated by spaces, slashes and special characters.

@itzkakarot Command+Shift plus the arrow key left or right should be providing what you're expecting in terms of text selection.

@rebron I'm using macOS. Control+Shift+Arrow selects the entire line in the URL bar. (as expected) The "select word" functionality in all other macOS apps is Option+Shift+Arrow.

Edit: This is now fixed in the recent update
