IntelliJ IDEA - caret behavior

I am trying to figure out one thing in IntelliJ IDEA 10:

alt text

  1. current caret position
  2. where caret moves after pressing DOWN arrow
  3. where I want caret to be

Is such setting possible?

Please note that this effect can also occur if you activate Column Selection Mode under: Edit -> Column Selection Mode which allows you to make square selections.
