Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.7 20110615-0604

As of now when we have an empty line in between 2 lines of code, block selection editing also edits empty line. It would  be great if we have an option in preference to ignore whitespaces and empty lines.

Reproducible: Always

Sorry moving to Platform/Text
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2011-10-18 02:15:13 EDT 
We also don't offer to ignore whitespace during normal copy. I don't plan to add this.
