I agree it is a vague issue and debatable whether a task should be moved 
or not when the mark is in the middle of a task, but if the beginning of 
a region is at the *beginning* of a task line, I would say probably it 
is intuitive for most people to think that the task should be moved. 
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.
