When I have a nice rectangular selection block (both the beginning and end of the region are at the starting positions of lines), I just think the whole block will get moved.
Can we check in the function that at least for the non-vague case as I described above, the whole region will get moved? Missing a task sometimes can shake people's trust in the planning system. :) Thanks.
