Oh, why didn’t I think of that first, oh yea, I did think of that first. That’s why I asked for the “trick” as in something I may be missing that’s not as obvious as the documentation might state.
Wait a minute.
OK I see the problem, it does not highlight the selected columns as a column in the editor. You just have to take it for granted that the area between the starting column of the cursor and ending column of the cursor ( of the horizontally selected text) is what is being selected as a rectangle.
It must be the european style of column editing.
Thanks for the slap in the head in making me see what's not there.
