Description

Fixes #6164.

Currently, it is not possible to select the outer edge of a block vertically.

It's probably easier to understand by steps to reproduce:

  1. Insert one block and add some text.
  2. Place the caret in the middle.
  3. Press shift+arrowUp.

Expected: all text before the caret to be selected. Actual: nothing happens.

Solution: look whether there is a block before or after the current block before attempting multi-block selection. If there is none, the event should not be default prevented.

How has this been tested?
