The video puts 2 text editors side by side for comparission's sake;

SUMMARY
Block Selection Mode shouldn't cancel out, when doing a word remove(ctrl+backspace);

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Block select;
2. Write;
3. Word remove(ctrl+backspace);

OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't behave neither like single-selection word remove(preserve selections), but for multiple selections;
[and those being a multi-line selection like];

Nor like multi-line edit(all selections get removed);

EXPECTED RESULT
Multi-line editing like behavior, because that's what I intended to find;

Alternatively, this could be a feature request for "multi-line editing"
