No. I am using a G4 PowerBook and I have no problem with rectangular 
selections. This is using BBEdit 8.2.5 on OS 10.4.5

It has to be something like this. Another possibility is the preferences file 
for BBEdit got corrupted. If this is the case, deleting the appropriate .plist 
file from ~/Library/Preferences should fix the problem. Note, if I were to try 
this I would do it be dragging the .plist file to the Desktop so that I could 
easily put it back if this didn't fix the problem.

Also note, this is a *guess* on my part. Your best bet as always is
