When selecting across multiple lines, jEdit has the curious behavior of highlighting the entire region from left to right - well past the last character - instead of highlighting just the selected text. I would like the selection highlights to be a visual indicator of what is actually selected (including any whitespace at the end of the line). Is there any way to alter this behavior? I'm willing to write a plugin to take care of this if there's a way to override selection paint methods in the API (I looked, and couldn't find anything).

Any input would be appreciated.
