multi-line text box arrow keys function strangely at limits

Details
In a multiline text box, after enough text has been entered to cause it
to start scrolling, the right-arrow key will move from the last character
to the first (in the whole box). Whereas, the left-arrow key never moves
off the first character.
To reproduce:
- start a bugzilla bug report
- type enough lines to make it scroll
- press and hold right-cursor; compare to pressing and holding left-cursor
Observed behavior:
Right-arrow scrolls back to start, left arrow does not.
Expected behavior:
Either, make both arrow keys stop at their respective limits (preferred), or
else make both arrow keys wrap around to the other end (less preferred). I
prefer the first solution because I (want to) use right-arrow to detect where
the end of the text I'm typing is.
