fci-mode vs cua-mode rectangles

Hi,

I noticed that fci-mode messes up rectangle selection in cua-mode.

With fci-mode enabled:
rect_with_fci

Without fci-mode:
rect_without_fci

Steps to reproduce:

emacs -Q
M-x find-file fill-column-indicator.el
M-x eval-buffer
M-x fci-mode
M-4 M-8 <right> ;; goto-char 49
M-x cua-mode
C-<return> ;; cua-set-rectangle-mark
<right><right><right><right>
M-1 M-3 down

Tested with emacs 24.3 and trunk 2015-07-17

Just FYI, I'm abandoning this package and welcoming requests to be take over as maintainer.

The functionality provided by this package has now been implemented natively in Emacs as display-fill-column-indicator-mode, available as of version 27.0.90. Unless you are forced to use an older Emacs, you should use the native implementation instead of fci-mode. The former is unaffected by most of the compatibility issues that this add-on has.
