Subject: bug#53452: 29.0.50; C-<arrow> selection broken by translate-upper-case-key-bindings

Hi:

When translate-upper-case-key-bindings is nil; the shift-arrow selection
does not work

emacs -Q
M-: (setq translate-upper-case-key-bindings nil)
S-<right>  // says it is not bound... somehow expected.

M-: (keymap-global-set "S-<right>" #'right-char)
S-<right>  // Now moves point but with no selection

I don't know where/how emacs recognizes the Shift in this case, but
somehow it is not working

Best,
