Bug 267895 StyledText block selection: cut & paste should give original text
Reported: 2009-03-10 12:08:47 | Status: resolved fixed

I20090310-0100. When having a block selection and doing cut & paste I would expect to get the original text no matter whether I do the selection from top-left to bottom-right or from bottom-right to top-left. I think the correct solution when cutting is to have a long caret that covers all selected lines.
