Yes, I had observed that it works as you and the original poster (and
Neil, by implication) say... but I am [still] asking what's up with
complaining about (or supporting) the undocumented behavior?
Or am I either misreading the documentation I quoted below or missing
somewhere else where this specific combination of keyboard and mousing
is described?
BTW, I am not saying this is a *bad* feature to want (or have)... :)

You'll see the rectangular selection is made, but the selection is only
drawn on the clicked line. Either it should not make a selection that it
doesn't draw, or it should draw the selection that it makes.

Submitted By: Piotr Fusik (pfusik)

Summary: Alt+Shift+click
Initial Comment:
This should make a rectangular selection from the anchor to the
clicked point. Unfortunately the selection is not drawn, giving the
impression that only a part of the clicked line is selected.
Well, the SciTE doc says
"Rectangular regions of text can be selected in SciTE by holding down
the Alt key on Windows or the Ctrl key on GTK+ while dragging the
mouse over the text."
and the "Keyboard commands" section says
"All move keys (arrows, page up/down, home and end) allows to extend
or reduce the stream selection when holding the Shift key, and the
rectangular selection when holding the Shift and Alt keys."
So, why do you expect the behavior you cite in your report?
