Comment 4 for bug 373610

Version: (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages

This bug (or at least unexpected behaviour) applies to kile (1:2.1.0~svn942443-0ubuntu4), kate (4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1), ...
I am using Kubuntu 9.04.
Here is what happens:
 - I have an indentated text with lines long more than the text area width that are dynamically word wrapped (see figure)
 - I start with the cursor in position line=1 col=1
 - I move the down arrow repeatedly
 - The cursor moves through the following positions: (1,1) -> (2,1) -> (3,1) -> (4,1) -> (4,74) -> (5,5) -> (6,5)
What I expected (and find useful) is that the cursor should go back to column 1 as soon as it is "available" again,
 i.e.: (1,1) -> (2,1) -> (3,1) -> (4,1) -> (4,74) -> (5,1) -> (6,1).

In other words, going down from from col 1 on an unindented line to an indented line to an unindented line gets me to col 5 instead of 1.

The current behavior makes simple operations, e.g. the selection of blocks of source code, more difficult.
