CodeLite IDE

Pasting vertical block does not work in block mode.
A block of text can be slected.
E.g. in the following text
1234
1234

select 23 in both lines.
Move cursor to first line between 5 and 6.
5678
5678
Paste results in
523
23
678
5678

Is there a way to paste in block mode?
Setup:
Codelite 5.4. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit.

Iirc, I have already tried to debug this and it seems like a bug wxStyledTextCtrl which itself is a wrapper to scintilla.
Does it work in scite? ( apt-get install scite)
