column (block) select broken since v8
using alt-mouse dragging to select a vertical block (column selection mode) is broken since v8 — font Tahoma, english text — the block is selected to the right of clicking point. And if you click at a long line's tail (200th character) the offset would be ... 50 characters.

v7 was ok.

I don't see any problems. Can you try another font, fixed-width font such as Courier New? Exactly what version of v8 do you use? Please send me a screenshot that explain your issue. Thanks!

yeah, monospaced font is ok, yet variable-width fonts column-selection is broken (v8+). All the settings are the same for v7,v8,v9 (in registry)

I should have said that this happens with Alt-mouse click'n'drag, while CtrlShift-F8 is ok (however the faint marquee rectangle is shown at wrong position with variable-width font anyway).

I cannot reproduce this issue. Maybe please send me (tech@emurasoft.com) your sample file, detail information such as font name, type, and detail procedure to reproduce this issue. Thanks!

Re: column (block) select broken since v8
sorry for not following the thread for so long, notifications aren't delivered to my email.

1. any english text (readme.txt e.g.)
2. font: Tahoma, encoding: any (UTF8 e.g.)
3. Alt-click somewhere in the middle of a long line and drag the mouse somewhere to bottom-right

here's my Text config HKCU->EmSoft reg file: http://rapidshare.com/files/272294650/Em_Text_Config.zip.html

Thanks for information. I reproduced your issue, and will look into this issue. This happens because we changed the block selection behavior.
