Description matthies 2008-02-21 20:22:18 UTC

The action "Select Line" does not select the complete line, it seems to be missing the terminating newline.
For example when doing "Delete" or "Cut" after "Select Line", the line is not removed, it just becomes empty.
Also when doing "Copy" after "Select Line", then pasting does not insert a new line.

"Select Line" should have the same notion of "line" as "Delete Line" (Ctrl+E), which completely deletes the line, not 
just the characters contained within the line.
