IntelliJ IDEA - pocket behavior

I am trying to understand one thing in IntelliJ IDEA 10:

alt text

  • current carriage position
  • when the carriage moves after pressing the DOWN arrow
  • where i want to be

Is such a setting possible?

Please note that this effect can also occur if you activate the column selection mode in: Edit -> Column Selection Mode which allows you to make square selections.
