The leftmost column of a line is always 0. Unless you pad all your lines on the right, then the rightmost column of every line is going to be different. Since $ tells Vim to select until the EOL, this will cause the visual selection to appear jagged. If you use set virtualedit to 'block' or 'all', your visual block will be a solid block as long as you don't use $ to form the selection. Using the arrow keys or h,j,k,l will behave as you expect. $ will always select to the end of the text on the line and not past it.
