multi line cursor mode , sqlDbx ver. 5.11

Multi line cursor mode is not working in sqldbx ver 5.11 professional edition.

When I hold Alt + left mouse button and then move up or down, no red line is enable and
only editing area (rectangle) is appeared.

Can I turn on or off options to enable multi line cursor mode?

Alt+C toggles block (column) mode on and off. When on, shift+arrow keys and shift+click work as expected without having to hold Alt.
Make sure you have selected the use of a fixed font in the settings (Consolas etc...)

It seems the multi line cursor mode works in the ANSI version, but not in the Unicode version. I'm not sure why. I have the same issue in version 6.02 professional.

This depends on how font reported. Multi line cursor mode only work with fixed width fonts and for some fonts this property reported differently.
Does it happen for New Courier font?
In a next version we will have option to force SqlDbx to treat font as fixed width

Yes. I've tried several of the fixed width fonts and nothing works. I'm on Windows 10.
But I'm very glad to hear the next version will address this. Thanks so much for the reply.
