Alt+left click changes font size (solved)

Alt+left click changes font size (solved)

How do I prevent the font from changing size when I use left Alt + mouse left click to then select a few lines to enter the same input. I think it's called column mode or something. Every time I do this, the font is reduced and drives me nuts since I end up at a different line and then must try to remember where I was before.
So is there a setting I can change that will prevent the font size from changing when I use this mode?

Thanks in advance.

Click on ribbon tab View on first item Fonts and click on Set font. Look which font is used by you in which size for normal text editing. Then click on X.
Now click once again on Fonts and this time on Set hex / column mode font. Configure the same font if possible (must be a fixed-width font) in same size as for normal text editing.

You enable temporarily the column mode with Alt+selection with mouse to make a rectangular selection.

Thanks mate, you are a life saver. That was so simple. I went through all options for nothing.
Have a great weekend!
