In reply to Kelvin Holdsworth.

To say that no one is listening is hyperbole at best. This specific issue pointed out has had work done toward it, which involves partial selection across blocks. It's not complete, but some of the foundational code work is done. It's fair to criticize that this hasn't been 100% fixed yet given the amount of time. Frankly, I'm right there with you on that. A regression from normal text editing should take precedence over building new and shiny features.
