After lots of head scratching and experimenting I have a consistent cause.
It seems like the Search and Replace bar causes some problem.
It is only happening when the Replace text box is visible.
This weird behaviour disappears if the I click the Hide Replace button
or choose Hide Replace from the Edit menu.
I've also noticed that S:C:R stops working after the Replace text box
and buttons have disappeared. That is I can't Hide, then Re show the
Replace text box.
I hope that helps you fix the problem, but I'm pretty happy now I know
how to get the correct operation back again.
Thanks,

This sounds like a bug in the implementation of the shift-left and
shift-right keybindings.
If you can give some kind of a step by step procedure to get into the
bad state, then I think we can probably fix it.

I'm having a problem editing programs using DrRacket. This happened

I'm having the same issue again. Basically the behaviour of text
selection is changes while I open and edit different files running a
single instance of DrRacket.
If I select some text and then press SHIFT+Left instead of altering
the selection based on the current cursor position, the selection is
extended left from the beginning of the text currently selected.
Similarly for SHIFT+Right - it extends the text selection one
character to the right from the end of the selection rather than the
current cursor position. Same for SHIFT+Down, SHIFT+Up.
Is there some key binding or setting in DrRacket that controls the
way text selection is handled that I am accidentally hitting?
It doesn't happen in any other editor - it's specific to DrRacket.
If I quit DrRacket and re-open it normal operation continues for a
while again. I don't know if it's a bug or some setting in DrRacket
that I am unaware of.
My current specs are:
Arch Linux 64 bit:
Linux 3.10.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux
DrRacket 5.3.6.
(This is a version I compiled myself - but it's the same using the
Arch binary package - racket 5.3.6-1)
Can someone offer any advice?
