Last I tried you couldn't scrape down the right side of the ragged edge. I'll try it out again as maybe it's fixed.
I also found the 'extra' cursors too faint previously. Hopefully that's been improved too.
I'll give it a go as there's so much to like about it.

Ah I see what you mean.
I wouldn't call that a problem per-se. It draws a cursor where there it text to draw one. This makes sense to me as I can edit a column of values and not pick up already empty columns.
To do what you want I'd just multi-cursor the start of all the lines and hit end. Usually ctrl+arrow over word boundaries gets anywhere I need after that.
Anything fancier still I've just written a regex instead.
Could certainly be a preference option to enable blank lines on multiple cursors. it would have to fill the white space.
I've tried it and there is still a problem: the cursors draw from wherever the previous cursor was. This makes it impossible to draw a line of cursors vertically through your text without first placing a single cursor at either the top of the bottom of where you want to draw the line. So instead of click-drag (with a modifier key) you have to click-click-drag (with a modifier key).

I do find the click-click drag annoying too.
I've also tried to put cursors along a ragged right edge and that doesn't work as it tries to create a rectangular selection. It looks like its worked but as soon as you hit a cursor key the cursors try to line up and you end up with cursors at odd positions. Very odd.
Do you mean because it selects the rectangle? Just hit an arrow key.
