A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I've created a mouse and key event recoreder and player, when I found that the following scenario does not work:

Having the awt.robot selecting text in a text field with shift+[any motion key] does not work.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a JTextField with "This is a test" in it.
Use the awt.Robot to got to the end, then:
- press shift
- press and release left
- press and release left
- press and release left
- press and release left
- release shift


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect the word "test" to be selected.
ACTUAL -
The cursor had moved, but there was no selection.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
