bug#49544: 26.3; shift arrow command runaway

["Kunz, Chris" via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

Emacs is running under WSL (Ubuntu).  It doesn't happen in any application under Windows 10 (including GNU Emacs 25.2.1 compiled for Windows).  It also doesn't happen in the xterm window running under WSL.  It could be WSL or VcXsrv.  I will try to move to WSL 2 and see if that solves the issue.

Thanks,
Chris

Is this some "accessibility" feature of your system, perhaps?  There's no such feature in Emacs, AFAIK.
