Sorry for the noise. I will not disturb you again on this issue. There
is not a single editor I know off, which would move the cursor
automatically in such a situation. Just start some modern IDE. Eclipse,
Netbeans, you name it. Select some text using the mouse. Hit CTRL-C.
This will not move the cursor and everyone would freak out, if the
cursor would magically move to some other location after that CTRL-C. I
am not sure what issue he is trying to solve.
