text selection from keyboard arrows does not work

(#3518) Bug Needs triage mobile

Observed behaviour

my cursor moves as expected, but doesn't select along the way, and even discards any active selection. (when pressing the equivalents of Home/End, it selects all the way to the start or end of the message, though. only arrows behave incorrectly)

Reproduction steps

  1. use a keyboard with text selection, such as Google Gboard
  2. open chat anywhere in Fluxer Beta mobile app and type something
  3. enter selection mode
  4. press the arrows
