Disable 'Caret past end of line' by default

Hi all,

I'd like recommend that the 'Caret past end of line' be disabled by
default. I've never used any text editor/ide that would just position
the caret anywhere you click (in a blank line). I think this should be
disabled by default. Anyone who wants this feature will go looking for
it, but being on by default may deter some people who are just
checking out the IDE (from N++ for example).

It is a very usefull fetaure which enables you to scroll the cursor
down and stay on the same x-postion, even if you scroll pas shorter
lines than the one above.

I agree it should be disabled by default. It seemed some strange at
the beginning for me.

You can keep the X-position even with this feature disabled.

No, you can't.

Yes. Just check the "Keep X-position" on the Editor Options, and it
will maintain the horizontal position of the cursor, IF the line is
large enough.

I know i would be first to find options to enable that feature again 
It's a feature i would expect from any programming editor.
