Braille doesn't follow when extending a selection to the left or right #5770

One of these days I'm going to report an issue not related to braille. Until then...

STR:

  • Move to the start of a line of text that is longer than the braille display width.
  • Repeatedly press Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow.
    • Expected: braille pans to follow the right edge of the selection once it goes beyond the display width.
    • Actual: it doesn't.

The same in reverse applies when you extend the selection to the left. Extending up or down works as expected in most cases (but not in browse mode: #4682). I'm opening a separate issue for this because it concerns selections on a single line.

This is kind of the continuation of #5410, but I only noticed it just recently because now I use NVDA much more than before. My guess is that this is non-trivial to fix, in which case I'd say it's a low-priority issue.
