Summary: Cannot select with (shift)+(arrows) in msg box

Initial Comment:
Well I'm not sure if this is a Feature Request or a bug...
Anyway, I would like to use (shift)+(any arrow key) in a msg box to select blocks of text... it doesn't seem to work.

Message:
I consider it a bug too.  Basically, this means using a 'text' widget for
box entry, or writing lots of custom bindings.  It would be worth doing
tho.
