Is it possible in Notepad++ to select text to the left just like in Windows notepad when the cursor is lowered below the line in which the selection occurs?

Question

Notepad++

If you start selecting text in the middle of a single line of a document in a basic Windows notepad (7) and lower your cursor below that line, you can drag to the left and the text will be selected to the left of the point at which the selection began. In Notepad ++, if you lower the cursor below the line when selecting text, then the selection automatically goes to the right side of the selection start point. Is it possible to make Notepad++ act like the basic Windows notepad (7) here?
