possible to apply a small (7 lines) change from scintilla r3465, which speeds up the rectangular selection about 20 times? It's perfectly compatible with our revision.
Depends on we update Scintilla soon :).
I would prefer not to include this in the 0.20 release, just in case it introduced bugs. I haven't noticed rectangular selection speed being an issue personally.
That's for large rectangle selections. With 20 000 lines, any selection key takes 10 seconds. With r3465, the delay goes down to < 0.4 seconds.
I'm 99.9% sure the patch doesn't introduce bugs, but since 0.20 is near, your point is valid...
