[racket] DrRacket editor behaviour change

The keystrokes suggests (control-shift-home and then down) don't move the
selection for me; after the down, I go back to the unselected state.

Meanwhile, control-space, control-n works in the way you would seem to want
it to work. Is there some more complex sequence that causes trouble?
