+1 to this. I'm on a 16-inch 2019 MacBook Pro (Intel CPU) and this has always been incredibly frustrating. I used Atom editor for several years and it never had this issue.
As a result of #26393 (which is several years old) they had apparently fixed this behavior for the keyboard shortcuts back in October 2021 but they didn't do anything to apply the same logic to using the essentially the same behaviors with the mouse, i.e. Multi-cursor modifier and Column (box) selection.
