insert deselects rectselection

Hi,

i select a rectangular region with Ctrl-v and some cursor movement
commands.
Next, i want to append some chars to every column of the rectangle
typing A.
This puts vim into insert-mode (as expected), but unselects the region
(not expected) so that the insert command only affects the line where
the cursor is.
Is this the expected behaviour?

I use:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan 28 2016
11:25:03) Included patches: 1-1187

On a linux box in a gnome-terminal 3.4.11

regards,

Christoph
