[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Ctrl-D duplicating too much text (#1075)

[Colomban Wendling]

It's actually a feature that <kbd>Ctrl+D</kbd> duplicates whole lines when more than one is selected.  Your first before/after duplicating exactly one line is also expected, because you actually only selected 1 whole line, nothing on the next.  You selected `ABC\n` (e.g. the line contents and the line ending character), so only 1 line, hence it duplicates that line only.  In your first example it duplicated the 2 lines because you selected more than one line.

If there is a bug here, it is that when a line doesn't end with a newline (like in your first unexpected example) it doesn't add such a new line and simply duplicates the range (missing the newline), leading to the lines combining as in your example.  This does not happen if there's a newline character at the end of the line.
