Unfortunately, what textShift *should* be doing, and what's it's actually doing are two different things. Trying my simple test stack in 5.5, 6.7.8, and 8 dp 11 shows the same behavior, so apparently this has been broken forever. TextShift should never adjust the lines around a selection, but that's what it does.
In any event, I still need to shift text down in 7.0.6, so I'm hoping knows a way to pull this off. Anyone?
