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&group_id=153444?
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/91c2b9c7e0859c4c).

Enrico
