[Geany] Issue with rectangular selection mode

[Worth, Kevin]

Speaking of which... Thomas, is the expected behavior (of Ctrl-Clicking) to open the file that defines the tag AND go to that line? In my present experiences, it only works if the file is already open.

Just looked at a tags file... doesn't appear there is a filename in there, so perhaps I was expecting something different.

(Another SciTE user who just needed more)

This is probably because CTRL+click goes to the definition of a tag 
(e.g. a function or variable) by default. I would like a solution to 
this problem too.

Best regards.
