No My patch does not break it.
You can still paste a rectangular chunk and it works just as before.
But if a rectangular selection is active and a single, non-block string of text is in the clipboard, it will only paste in the first line of the rectangular selection. This is just as it is now.
What I was saying is that it would be nice if the single item of text that had been previously Copied or Cut would be replicated on every line of the rectangular selection. That is the extension of column mode that I think would make it complete.

One more note on operation. It handles typing fine (inserting & deleting) but won't paste some text in multiple lines. That would be nice; and a downstream goal.
But Scintilla by default handles pasting a column selection, and I use this from time to time. It sounds like your code breaks this - if this is the case IMO we shouldn't apply it. Any patch should extend the existing Scintilla functionality, without disabling/breaking anything.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried the patch yet ;-)
