Start NPP and open a text file\r\n2. click on a text location\r\n3. press Alt and Shift (keep them held down)\r\n4. use the cursor keys to move the cursor to another place in the file.  A rectangular selection should display as the cursor moves.\r\n\r\n![npp1](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/14882434/23482201/17d265e0-ff33-11e6-8dcf-c85cebc52ff1.png)\r\n\r\n5. release the Alt and Shift keys\r\n\r\n### Expected Behaviour\r\n<!--- What did you expect to happen -->\r\nNothing\r\n### Actual Behaviour\r\n<!--- What actually happened -->\r\nThe selected text is deleted and replaced by a single column of a random character.\r\n\r\n![npp2](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/14882434/23482011/6dd1068c-ff32-11e6-9a1e-ddbe36584396.png)\r\n\r\n### Debug Information\r\n<!--- Debug Info can be found under under the \"?\" menu -->\r\n\r\n<!--- Feel free to include any other info, such as screenshots, etc -->\r\n\r\n### Work-around\r\n\r\nUsually when I am marking a column of text, it's so I can delete it.  My procedure for this is:\r\n\r\n - click on the left-hand top character of the desired selection\r\n - hold Shift and Alt Down\r\n- click on the bottom right character of the desired selection\r\n- release Shift and Alt\r\n- press Del\r\n\r\nThe main point is that by using the above procedure it's possible to select the text without inserting the rogue column.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/comments/283890601","html_url":"https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2981#issuecomment-283890601","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2981","id":283890601,"user":{"login":"cmeriaux","id":12024941,"avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/12024941?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux","html_url":"https://github.com/cmeriaux","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cmeriaux/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-03-03T08:01:37Z","updated_at":"2017-03-03T08:01:37Z","body":"I still can't reproduce your issue with your procedure\r\nI tried with the official version \r\n\r\n    Notepad++ v7.3.2   (32-bit)\r\n    Build time : Feb 12 2017 - 23:15:39\r\n    Path : D:\\data\\download\\npp.7.3.2.bin\\notepad++.exe\r\n    Admin mode : ON\r\n    Local Conf mode : ON\r\n    OS : Windows 7 (64-bit)\r\n    Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PluginManager.dll \r\n\r\n\r\nCan you try again with this portable version  https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.3.2/npp.7.3.2.bin.7z \r\n\r\nYou may have something broken in your configuration.
