IntelliJ IDEA non standard caret behaviour

I have an issue with IntelliJ IDEA when selecting a big amount of text, and I cannot find the parameter to set to change that. Here is an example of the situation:

  1. My caret is on line 3
  2. I scroll with the mouse wheel towards line 300
  3. I press ctrl + shift
  4. I press the left button of the mouse

Such an action would result in the text from line 3 to 300 being selected in all common editors (even in MS-Word I think), but not in IntelliJ.

Do you know how to set this right?
Thanks!

Why ctrl+shift? Shift is enough to select those lines in most editors, ctrl is most commonly used to add additional items (for example, two ranges with shift).

Ctrl + Shift + Left Click is "Navigate to Type Declaration" in IDEA. See here.
