There is an "oddity", and I am trying to find out the correct behaviour:

Set your editor options to:
Tabs to spaces: NO
smart tabs: NO
tabs indent block:NO
show special chars: Yes
alt-key sets column mode: yes

have a text like [------- is *one* tab]

abcdefghij
--------1234
mnopqrstuv

Now hold the alt key and use the mouse to select a column of one char. 
Starting in front of the "b", ending after the "n"

In this case there is no block highlight in the middle line (1234), but 
in other cases there will be (select "gh", "st").

Pressing ctrl-x will cut "b", "1", "d"

The block should have gone through the tab, but then half of the tab 
would be selected.  Besides the optical issues, on pressing ctrl-x, 
which char(s) of the middle line should be cut?
Or should the block highlight the "1" ? IMHO not.

Thanks
Martin
