In the ABAP Editor SE80, select a block of text using ALT+drag. You are not selecting complete lines, but a block consisting of partial lines:
Then start typing the new text to replace the text you have highlighted. Observe what happens......
Now - based upon what you see what would you expect the backspace key to do ??
Is this a bug or a feature ?????

Hi Gerrit....
Did you run through my example or did you just direct me to the feature link ?? I know you can select blocks like this it's a standard windows feature. It's what happens afterwards that made me chuckle....

I am aware of the behavior you describe, it's awesome, and I think works as intended. If you have your code alligned, this is an easy way of replacing for instance a table name on the right hand side of an assignment for a whole bunch of assignments.

You're missing the bug....
When you're in the multi-line edit mode, if you hit backspace you drop back to single line editing. So I guess don't make any mistakes in multi-line mode.

Haha I'd call that a bug. Good find!
I find myself copying and pasting code in to Sublime when I want to do any kind of multi line editing.
