Hello,
I have an editor bug that I’d like to report. I attempted to do a rectangular copy and paste. The editor seems to do the selection and copy correctly, but not the paste. In my example, I want to copy numbers following the letters aaaa through eeee to ffff through jjjj.
I press Shift-Alt and select the region to copy, and then press ctrl-c to copy.

I then move the cursor to the area I want to past to and press ctrl-v. This is the result:

I’m expecting:

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Max and Ivan,
Thanks for the reply. I went to “GitHub - microsoft/vscode: Visual Studio Code”, took a look around and found several similar bug reports going back many years. It looks like it’s a known issue with a very very low priority, so I’m not going to clutter up the issues section reporting it again.
