Okay –
1) type some text, eg
line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
2) select “ine” in “line3” – press backspace – “ine” vanishes as expected
2a) restore “line3”
3) select “ine” in all lines by pressing “alt” when the cursor is between ‘l’ and ‘i’ in “line5”, drag with mouse between ‘e’ and ‘1’ – press backspace – on every line in selection the ‘e’ disappears (not the whole selection as I would expect)
3a) restore text (ctrl-y)
4) select the other way around (from in between ‘e’ and ‘1’ to ‘l’ and ‘i’ – press backspace – nothing happens
Do the same in, say, Notepad++ or Visual Studio. I would expect the same behaviour in EmEditor. However, I don’t know if EmEditor behaves as designed. If so (ie, it’s not a bug) I’d like to know how I can toggle between behaviours.
btw, part 3 works identically if there’s no selection at all (but only a column cursor between ‘e’ and the numbers.
Thanks
