[BUG] Begin/End Select Problem #15221

Description of the Issue

After using Begin/End Select to start a selection and another Begin/End Select to end the selection, and deleting the selection, pressing cursor keys to move causes a continued selection.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Ctrl-Shift-B
  2. Select some text
  3. Ctrl-Shift-B
  4. Press Delete to delete it
  5. Press a cursor key and see a selection get expanded instead of just moving the cursor.

Current Behavior

Trying to move the cursor with the cursor keys after using Begin/End Select is selecting text along the cursor's path.

Expected Behavior

I expect that once the selection is ended that any cursor movements would simply be cursor movements.
