Multiple cursors with dragging no longer working after 1.0.3

Bug graveyard
1

I have been using multiple cursor feature regularly, and up until today it was working fine where I place cursor on line 1, hold option (on mac) and drag down to add cursors to lines below. Since the 1.0.3 update this evening, I can still place multiple cursors by clicking each line individually, but I can no longer place cursors by dragging. Now dragging just highlights the text, and any typing after highlight just deletes the highlighted text as usual.

Steps to reproduce

On section of text with multiple lines, place cursor at beginning of first line. Hold option (on mac) and drag cursor down the to try to place multiple cursors at beginning for subsequent lines

Expected result

Multiple cursors place at same position in all lines that were dragged through.

Actual result

No extra cursors get place, text just gets highlighted when doing option+drag, and behaves like normal highlighted text. The option key does nothing when dragging down through multiple lines.

Additional information

Multiple cursor function still works if I click to add a new cursor to each line individually, but this is quite tedious with many lines and defeats the purpose of having the feature.

I am not sure what you are talking about but everything seems normal to me.

Post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault.

See below (sorry the gif conversion made it play slow). The first time, I am clicking each line individually while holding option. The second time, I have hold option while doing a click-hold-drag down the list. Up until today, this would have given my a cursor on each line, but now it is just highlighting and not adding new cursors.
