1. put cursor in the middle of line 1 in a paragraph of 4 or more lines (I used 
[here](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/8d97d8f15dda2f9691232820bb6814162fb2473e/src/editor.c#L3756)
 ), so all lines are longer than the starting column
2. select line with SHIFT+ALT+L, line is selected and caret appears at the 
start of the next line
3. press downarrow, caret moves to the line after but to the column in 1. above

Since the caret after step 2. is at the start of the line a user is reasonable 
in assuming that downarrow will move to the start of the next line, not to the 
middle of it.

Reported as a selection problem on ML, but is really the caret position moving 
in an unexpected way.

Suspect `editor_select_lines()` should explicitly move the current position to 
end of selection? (link above is to middle of that function ;-)
