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,

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!
