Hi,
I just did a quick check and this does seem broken. Haven’t had the time to 
look at the code, but it definitely doesn’t work as expected on MacOS.
My suggestion would be to use C-<DOWN> and C-<UP> for now to navigate by 
paragraph at least, that’s what I usually do. Hopefully someone can take a 
look in the meantime.
