## Message

```
editor: Fix multi-cursor not added to lines shorter than current cursor column (#31100)

Closes #5255, #1046, #28322, #15728

This PR makes `AddSelectionBelow` and `AddSelectionAbove` not skip lines
that are shorter than the current cursor column. This follows the same
behavior as VSCode and Sublime.

This change is only applicable in the case of an empty selection; if
there is a non-empty selection, it continues to skip empty and shorter
lines to create a Vim-like column selection, which is the better default
for that case.

- [x] Tests

The empty selection no longer skips shorter lines:

Non-empty selection continues to skip shorter lines.

Release Notes:

- Improved `AddSelectionBelow` and `AddSelectionAbove` to no longer skip
shorter lines when the selection is empty, aligning with VSCode and
Sublime behavior.
```
