Alt + Up/Down moves not only selected rows

After selecting whole rows and trying to move them with Alt + Up or Alt + Down, the row immediately after them is highlighted and moving with them.

This won't happen if you go to the exactly first row (press home until you are there), then press shift+cursor down to select the area you want to move, then move.

What you describe happens if you've selected the (invisible) EOL by accident, too - and this is correct behaviour.

Try and report back if that works.

I have a patch that might make this act more as expected (not be too pedantic).

Yes, it works, but only if I DO NOT use your recommendation to begin on very first position of the first row.But this is not the issue; I knew that if I select incomplete rows it works fine, because I don’t select the EOL of the next line. The problem is that if a selection of complete rows is made by the mouse in the area of the row numbers (or by your advice), Alt + Up / Down moves the next line, too.

When I work in the Eclipse or NetBeans editor, no such problems arise and their behavior is perfectly which I expect from Code::Blocks editor.

BTW copy/paste in Code::Blocks editor behaves also fine – why Alt + Up / Down would have different "correct behavior"?

This bug is now fixed in HEAD.

Thank you for reporting it.
