Cursor positioning behavior at end of code

#1

New to Sublime, and love it, however it has one quirk:

When cursor is positioned in the last line of code (without extra empty lines after it), pressing the down arrow does not move the cursor to the end of that line.
Is there an option to change this behavior so that the cursor does move to the end of the line when the down arrow is pressed? This would match the behavior found in other text editors (MS Word, Notepad++, Geany, etc)? If not, could this be included in future versions, preferably as the default option?

Writing Python, using Sublime build 3114

There’s a configuration option for that, but it’s only on by default on OSX; it’s turned off by default for Windows/Linux.

Add the following to your user preferences (Preferences->Settings - User) to turn it on:

"move_to_limit_on_up_down": true
