Surefire way to reproduce:

1) launch Squeak5.2 or Squeak5.1 with the 5.0-201810190412 VM.

2) Click "Skip" to remove the "Welcome To Squeak" banner.  The
"Welcome To Squeak" window is there.

3) Click somewhere in the text pane to give it keyboard focus.

4) Click and drag to select 4 or 5 lines of text in the second paragraph.

5) Using mouse wheel, scroll down a few lines.

6) Using mouse wheel, scroll up *really fast*, ensuring to slam to the
top.  The selection is gone text cursor is one or more words to the
left of the original selection.

7) If the selection is still there, keep scrolling up as fast/hard as
you can, and watch the text cursor move in increments of one word to
the left, as if Control+[Left Arrow] is being pressed.
