Yes that makes sense if the selection starts mid-line but if you're converting a whole multiple line selection to column mode then the behaviour seems confusing.

BTW Thanks for the comments tip!

If I select two complete lines of text and hit Option then the caret also moves into the line below, which is not useful because I just wanted to add comments to the start of the selected two lines. Is this a bug or the way it's supposed to work?

it's supposed to work that way. you should start and stop selecting at the column you want the "multi-line caret" to be (start at the beginning of the first line and end at the beginning of the second line)

ciao,
