Your advice beautifully reinforces OP's case. We now have to use auxiliary apps with more predictable behaviour because designers made such a mess of things.
We've still yet to reach the "any textbox is just an embedded version of your EDITOR" nirvana.
Note the "very mild" jolt, not quite enough to rise to the level of switching to Notepad (or Emacs in my case).
