1. Ensure "Highlight matching {} and () using..." is set.
2. Create new C/C++ file and paste in this code:
int main()
{
int x=(1+2+3);
int y=(4+5+6);
int z=(7+8+9);
}
3. Column select everything in the brackets, starting from '1' and moving to '9' -- left to right, top to bottom -- and press Del.
The result is that one extra character is deleted:
int main()
{
int x=();
int y=();
int z=);
}
You can highlight the other way (starting from '9', and moving to '1') and the result is correct. In fact it looks like any time you drag the column highlight left to right, you get this bug.
(A similar bug was in a previous VAX, but the other way round...)
