Describe the bug
In Microsoft Edge the select all shortcut ctrl+A selects all blocks instead of only selecting all of the content in a block.

This is not consistent with the behaviour in Chrome and Firefox. In other browsers only when using the shortcut again are all of the blocks selected.

To reproduce

  • Click in a paragraph block
    • Press once selects all text
  • Click in another paragraph block
    • Press once selects all bocks
  • Click in another paragraph block
    • Press once selects all bocks

Expected Behaviour

  • Click in a paragraph block
    • Press once selects all text.
  • Click in another paragraph block
    • Press once selects all text
    • Press twice selects all bocks
