Sorry, I haven't read your report carefully enough. I could reproduce it, but I
wouldn't expect to select lines with ctrl. You also can't mark normal lines of
text with ctrl.

So I would say NOTABUG. But if you don't agree, please feel free to change it
baxck to UNCONFIRMED.

Word selecting multiple lines holding Ctrl key

I could reproduce this, and I must agree with Regis Perdreau that this is a
bug.
One of multiple with using Ctrl to select items in fact.

If I want to select several non-contiguous rows or columns to paste in another
document or presentation, using Ctrl as a keyboard shortcut to multi-select is
an ingrained keyboard shortcut that is used in most software programs.

Furthermore, Word allows selection of multiple rows or columns using Ctrl key
as a shortcut.
