Well, it does what's expected - it's just the cursor which is off-by-one
at the right edge (it is ok at the left edge, isn't it)?

But it's a bug, and I'll see what to do about it.

Maybe the simple solution is to make it a config option, whether
the rectangle cursor is inside or outside the rectangle on the
right edge - then people can have it the way they like (there
obviously isn't consensus on the issue).
