It would require some new code in the scintilla area I would guess, but for a "quick"? workaround, pad all the lines with spaces out to the longest line you want to include, then grab it all with a rectangle.
I put the 'quick' in quotes because obviously, it could be cumbersome.

Column mode for selecting blocks of text is one of the little things that i use every once in a while that is more or less indispensable. In Geany, when selecting a block in column mode the rightmost edge of the selection is always the location of the cursor and the cursor won't go beyond the end of the line. So if a line in the middle of the block is longer than the bottom (or top) line, there isn't any way to include it in the selection.
For example with this text:
Not is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
There isn't any way to select the whole thing as a block in column mode. Can anything be done about this?
Thanks,
