#2409 SCI_LINEDELETE vs. SCI_LINECUT

[Yaron]

Using Notepad++.

If you select 2 lines (including the EOL), and the caret is at the next line:

• SCI_LINEDELETE deletes the current line only.
• SCI_LINECUT cuts the three lines.

Is there a reason for the different results?
I'd expect SCI_LINECUT to also delete the current line only.

Thank you.

Deleting a single line is a common basic command that was implemented as SCI_LINEDELETE to emulate other editors. SCI_LINECUT was a new feature to help move code around.
