Ctrl+Shift+Right not working in VS2019

In the Visual Studio 2019 editor, Ctrl+Shift+Right arrow key is not working for me, despite it being mapped to Edit.SizeControlRight. Nothing happens. What I expect it to do is to extend the selection to the right of the current word.

Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Left are all working as expected. VS2017 is working as expected. This is all off of a fresh install.

    Check if <Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow> is assigned to “Edit.WordNextExtend” command. Select “Text Editor” from “Use new shortcut in” list before assigning. Compare with Visual Studio 2017 options.

    You can also try resetting the options from Tools, “Import and Export Settings…” menu.
