When I use the above shortcut, they don't work well in gmail... only highlights a few words then stops.

Can you still select (highlight) text by holding down the Shift key and either use the keyboard or the mouse?

It is also possible that the highlight in not very well visible and you might not notice it.

Yes, but its weird, it just stops after you highlight a few words? Could this be a keyboard issue?
