Hey there,

Tried your modification but it still does not work properly.
I'm sorry. I had high hopes that it would.
Could I ask you try to select an entire line using SHIFT-ALT-L, then extend your selection one or more lines down using SHIFT-downarrow but then change your mind and instead extend the selection one or more lines up using SHIFT-L going above your original selection. Does this work?
I saw your other message in which you corrected this to say that I should press Shift+Alt+L to select a paragraph, then change my mind, and then press Shift+up arrow to try to select lines above the existing selection. That slowly unselects my existing selection, one line at a time, and then starts selecting one line at a time of text above it.
And, does it work regardless of whether the lines below/above your original selection are longer than your original selected line?
I thought I'd answer this for all of these selections. The Shift+A+L selects the entire paragraph. The Shift+down arrow and the Shift+up arrow each select one visible line at a time, not one wrapped line, so my cursor jumps down or up by only one line each time time I press the down arrow or up arrow. It doesn't care about the content and whether it should be considered a line because it's wrapped. It's only interested in the actual visible lines.
Which version of geany are you running and what environment?
I'm using Geany 1.38 under Kubuntu 22.04 LTS on a desktop computer and I keep the operating system fully up-to-date. All of its software is from the Ubuntu repositories.
