Columnar Editing functionality changed in v11...

Hi Folks

Prior to v11, whenever I held down the Alt key and did a selection with the mouse, did Ctrl/C to copy to clipboard, repositioned cursor and then did a Ctrl/V to paste, the pasted code did not include any carriage returns so any existing code was pushed to the right.

In v11, there are always carriage returns included in the pasted code, so the existing code is pushed down rather than to the right. Can the original functionality be restored, or at least be made a preference setting?

Just to clarify by example, let's say we have this code:

(lv_idx)
(lv_idx)

lv_table.one := 1;
lv_table.two := 2;

In v10, if I used Alt and select to select the first 2 lines (from first opening bracket to last closing bracket), and then pasted at the point of the first full stop, the code would now look like:

lv_table(lv_idx).one := 1;
lv_table(lv_idx).two := 2;

which is what I want.

However, in v11, the code looks like:

lv_table(lv_idx)
(lv_idx)
.one := 1;
lv_table.two := 2;

which is obviously not what I want.

If you need any more details, let me know.

Best regards

Billy
