This is a really annoying regression where in 8.1 if I had the following text in a file /* * Test test |test * * test test test. */ And I place the caret where the pipe is, moving down two lines will place the caret at the start of the word "test" on the second line. As of dev the caret now drops to column 1 (after the star) on the next line and will not remember its prior position. If you imagine code blocks where moving down through blank lines this can be unproductive.
Already fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 267327 ***
