Cannot move lines down while in column mode
Answered
Hi there!
I just found a weird behavior on 2019.3 version, working with Scala. When I enter column mode, I can use my shortcut to move lines up normally, but, when I try to move them down, the "not allowed command" sound plays (you know, when you try to perform an action that is not possible). When I exit the column mode, all works normally. Is there any way to work around this issue? The column mode is rather useful, and I was seriously thinking of sticking to it only, but this drawback is rather annoying, and there should be no reason for this.
I tried to change the shortcut, just in case of conflict, but had no luck so far.

Can't reproduce.
Is it specific to Scala? Do the lines move in Java code or other files? What is the specific action name you are using?
Does the issue occur in 2019.3.2 release?
Not specific to Scala - even in scratch files the issue occurs. The action is called "Move Line Down", and it works normally, only not after triggering the "Column Selection Mode".
Just updated to 2019.3.2 release, and the behaviour remains the same.
