Confirming OPs remark: simple mouse click really reverts selection type from column to normal, in current dev byuild 4.5.8 too.
Not severe bug, since aforementioned tip about alt+dragging is more than sufficient workaround, but still I cannot see any reason for such behavior. And maybe it would be worth to remind that it is also possible to use F8 key for making selection range. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,61810,61812> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
