In the first patch, the start and end corners of the rectangle had to be a 
point in the buffer; ie, not a position beyond the end of a line or in the 
middle of a tab character. That was not only unnecessarily restrictive but also 
made the rectangle flutter back and forth as the dragged corner passed through 
lines of different length. Now the rectangle corners can be any character cell.

If that was not the reason for your concern, would you mind describing the 
problem more in detail and how to reproduce it?
