Re: A small feature request for Vim 7.4

I'm using Vim version 7.3.

When in visual block mode, once I have chosen a one-line column, the last char has not been highlighted. For example consider the following text:

|   first
|   second
|   third

I move the cursor the first 'f', enter visual block mode with 'Ctrl-V' and do a '2j' to move to 't' of third.

This, however, will only highlight 'f' and 's' (the first characters from the first and second lines). This wasn't a problem when my terminal used a block for its cursor ( [] ), which was something that highlighted the final line.

Recently I switched to and underline character ( _ ) for cursor, and now that makes me a little dizzy trying to figure out the portion selected. Could it be the 7.4 version ( or a quick patch for 7.3 ) that would also highlight the last character?? I hope the example was useful to understand the 'issue'.

Thanks...

Hi,

for what it's worth when I try and reproduce your steps on the same text (Ctrl+V 2j starting on 'f'), the letters 'f', 's' and 't' are highlighted.

I tried with colorscheme koehler and default, Vim 7.3 on windows 7.
