Pressing shift+down moves your cursor down visually in the browser. This is just how native selection works in the browser (for example, in read mode, select the first 'l' in 'list item 1', then press shift down, and the same thing happens).

Without completing re-implenting our own version of cursor movement, we couldn't fix this even if we wanted to.
