I still don't understand why the top cursor moving right with the indent
is a problem, but the bottom cursor doing the same is not.

But why do you want that bottom indent/comment included in the selection?

For me, the indent/comment feature would be more "intuitive" if, when the
cursor at the bottom of the selection is at the left edge of the screen,
that then that line is not included in the indenting/commenting.  Because
it always surprises me that a line where no text is highlighted at all,
that this line also gets indented or commented.
