That was not only unnecessarily restrictive but also made the rectangle flutter back and forth as the dragged corner passed through lines of different length. Now the rectangle corners can be any character cell. OK, that's good. > If that was not the reason for your concern, would you mind describing the problem more in detail and how to reproduce it? I still see a 1-pixel thin "region" sometimes, which causes the text to move horizontally. More importantly, if I drag the mouse through a TAB, it moves in jumps of several columns, not one column at a time.
