Hi,
When selecting a line via triple-click, then extending the selection by shift-clicking on another line, the behavior changed.
TM1 (and other OS X apps like TextEdit) would select everything in between plus the ENTIRE clicked line.
TM2 only selects up to the clicked point.
Same for double-click selection (select word): TM1 and others select the entire word when shift-clicking, TM2 only up to the clicked point.
Should probably be changed to behave like TM1 did to be in line with expected behavior on OS X.

This one was pretty tricky because the only way (I could think of) to do that is store state about how selection was created (incase it later gets extended) and with TM2’s multiple carets, discontinuous and unanchored selections plus general abstractions related to transforming / sanitizing them, it was quite a head scratcher how to do this without adding lots of code complexity to check and update state variables.
So while I agree about how it ideally should work, it might take some time before it gets that behavior.
