    When I used Alt-(Mouse Select), it selects by block.  However when I scroll the mouse down, it seems like the maximum length that I can select is based on the maximum length of the current line.  So if I have a line of 50 chars followed by a line of 20 chars, I can only select a block of up to 20 chars wide even for the line of 50 chars.  Could someone suggest if I am not doing the right thing?  Many thanks.

      Yes, that's correct.
