Screenshot!

1. Open up an Java file.
2. Enable Rectangular Selection.
3. Choose a point on a line and extend the selection down across 2 or more lines.
4. Press Tab.

The lines are moved to the right like they do when only one line is selected. (See attached screenshot.)

Expected: Tabs are added at the insertion point.

***Correction: 

The lines are moved to the right. (See attached screenshot.)

Expected: Tabs are added at the insertion point like they do when only one line is selected.

Can be fixed by new impl of rect selection.
Comment 3 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:31:24 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
