AutoComplete: Shift+Home always selects entire text, not from current caret position #8201
Description
Describe the bug
When using the PrimeVue AutoComplete component, pressing Shift+Home in the input field selects the entire text, even if the caret is mid-string. This does not match standard browser input behavior, where Shift+Home should only select from the caret position to the start of the input.
This also occurs on the official PrimeVue demo site with no custom code.
No custom wrappers or event listeners involved; appears as a core component behavior.
This may be due to programmatic selection handling in the component.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
Type any text (e.g., "Apple") in the AutoComplete input.
Click to place the caret in the middle of the text (e.g., between 'p' and 'l').
Press Shift+Home.
The entire input text will be selected—not just from the caret to the start.
Expected behavior
Only the portion of the text between the current caret position and the start of the input should be selected, as in a native input field.
