Well, it does what's expected - it's just the cursor which is off-by-one at the right edge (it is ok at the left edge, isn't it)? But it's a bug, and I'll see what to do about it. Maybe the simple solution is to make it a config option, whether the rectangle cursor is inside or outside the rectangle on the right edge - then people can have it the way they like (there obviously isn't consensus on the issue). -- Kim F.
