Duplicate Line: Selection behavior changed?

[LTT]

Make a selection.
Use “Duplicate Line” command.

In older versions, the result selection includes both the original and the added line(s).
But now only the added line(s) is included.

Is this an intended change?

But sometimes I need the old behavior (e.g. for further operations on the selection).

Hello LTT,

I am not sure what you mean. Can you please write a sample to explain more details?

[LTT]

Sample:
A

Select “A” (or select the line).
Duplicate Line.

In (e.g.) 18.0.0, the result selection includes both the two “A” lines.
In the current version, the result selection includes only the lower “A” line.

Hi LTT,
Thank you for explaining. Yes, this behavior was changed due to a customer feedback. If you really need the previous behavior, I will add a new option, so please let me know.

[LTT]

Yes, please add an option. Thank you.

EmEditor v19.1 beta 1 (19.0.91) adds this option “Extend selection on the Duplicate Lines/Columns commands” check box to the Edit page of the Customize dialog box.
