No selection:
Example: Pos : 1,234
Meaning: Single caret is at position 1233 in document (user position 1234)
Single stream selection (no change to existing behavior):
Example: Sel : 27 | 2
Meaning: 27 characters selected on 2 lines
Multiple stream selections (this PR behavior):
Example: Sel 3 : 72 | 6
Meaning: 3 selections of 72 characters on 6 lines
Rectangular selection with no virtual space in column block (this PR behavior):
Example: Sel : 2x4 = 8
Meaning: selection of 2 rows(lines) by 4 columns; 8 characters in that selection
Rectangular selection with some virtual space in column block (this PR behavior):
Example: Sel : 2x4 🡢 6
Meaning: selection of 2 rows(lines) by 4 columns; 6 real characters in that selection

If you switch between tabs while wrap mode is enable, text jump to another lines.
It's an old bug, fixed in v7.5.9, but it had performance regression so it was reverted in v6.0.0.
It's been one year, and I'm back.
This works whatever the size of the file.
There isn't any performance regression because we don't use SCI_ENSUREVISIBLE scintilla command.
In case wrap option on, The restore position function is done in **twice** steps.
- First step: set selection, set anchor, set xoffset...
- Second step: once Scintilla has send the notification SCN_PAINTED, we can scroll several lines to set the first visible line to the correct wrapped line.
Keep in mind that Line wrapping is a background activity that takes time, specially for huge file.

Using ^= for the readonly attribute will cause it to always change the bit. So if CLEARREADONLY is called on a file that isn't read only, the file will become read only.
