[Github-comments] [geany/geany] MacOS: rectangular selection paste does not work as it does on Linux (#2685)

[journeyresearch]

On Linux, after copying a rectangular selection into the clipboard, it is possible to paste it into existing text while maintaining the rectangular structure (and not insert newlines where none existed before).  On a Mac, this appears to be broken.

Geany 1.37
Using GTK+ v3.24.20 and GLib v2.66.0 runtime libraries

System Version: macOS 10.15.7 (19H15)
Kernel Version: Darwin 19.6.0

Example.  I want to move the two lines of "hub." into the links above:

But when I do a rectangular select (using the mouse since the keys don't work.......that's a different issue), the result of pasting does not at all look like it would on Linux.  It looks like this:

When it should look like this:
