That's not a bug, it's correct behaviour (since in that mode, there is no
logical space beyond the end of a line, so you are clicking outside the bounds
of the editor, not in the space between the end of one line and the start of
the next).

To easily select multiple lines, click in the left-hand border area (the coloured
section) and drag downwards or upwards.
