[Geany] Column mode

Column mode for selecting blocks of text is one of the little things 
that i use every once in a while that is more or less indispensable. In 
Geany, when selecting a block in column mode the rightmost edge of the 
selection is always the location of the cursor and the cursor won't go 
beyond the end of the line. So if a line in the middle of the block is 
longer than the bottom (or top) line, there isn't any way to include it 
in the selection.

For example with this text:

Not is the
time for all good men
to come to the aid
of their country.

There isn't any way to select the whole thing as a block in column mode. 
Can anything be done about this?

Thanks,

Bob S.
