Umm.. yeah that is pretty cumbersome. Especially for blocks with a lot of lines.
As chuck said, this is mainly a Scintilla issue and should be requested there. I guess it leads directly to the idea of being able to put the cursor into columns behind the 'physical' end of the line.
On a related note, chuck did you by chance have a look at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=787794&aid=2784820... This is a patch to add a vertical line for column mode editing as a visual indicator. Since you know the code better than me, maybe you can judge whether it's worth adding and maybe warming up the discussion on Scintilla. Especially because in Scintilla there were recently a related discussions and test implementation about column mode editing (http://groups.google.com/group/scintilla-interest/browse_thread/thread/91c2b...).
