It’s inconsistent and depends on your position in the document. If you are on line 1, you hit the top of the document and your cursors lands on line 2. If you start on line 2, your final position is on line 2.

Additionally, with this technique the cursor stops *behind* the current word, not at the position where you started.

When I press up a single caret appears above the first one. When up press down it appears below the last one.
