Discord has a bug where using the HOME-SHIFT key does move the cursor without selecting the text, when creating a new forum-type post through their desktop and web client. In addition, the HOME and END keys also jump to the start/end of the textbox, instead of the start/end of the line.

They closed the ticket and sent me to their feedback page, where I can request any new feature, where people can then vote. They concluded their rejection with the phrase "anything is possible" with the help of the community.

I created the same ticket 5 years ago, where it was treated exactly the same.

It is so frustrating as a user to have basic functionality broken and repeatedly running into this on a weekly basis, because habits... and then getting told that they don't care about the bug unless thousands of people discover your bug report in their feedback portal and up vote it--as if it were my job to do the prioritizing for them.

It's quite upsetting.

This is a consequence of developers who never use anything but Mac and don't even realise this is wrong. Which is especially egregious for a product that an overwhelming majority of their customers will only ever see on Windows.
