Even if you use the info from the caret?

Yes, I looked at the FirstLinePos, LastLinePos range => it is wrong 
sometimes. But the caret seems to be ok for all I have seen.


Also, as I wrote before: FirstLinePos, LastLinePos is not usable for 
you, because in syncro-mode it will report more lines than you need (and 
that is by design).

In syncro mode, you can press enter inside a cell, and the cell 
willbecome multi-line => indenting in this case must be limited to the 
cell which was active,
-FirstLinePos, LastLinePos will include the range for *all* cells => if 
you indent every line in that range, the syncro module, will keep 
copying every change you make accross all cells => total chaos.
- the caret will give you the correct range

use the caret-info and it should already happen
