Description of the Issue

Rarely do I want to remove empty lines in my entire document. Often I'd like it to be done in limited scope, say, the currently selected lines.

As of Notepad++ 7.8.7, this is not possible (without a regular expression replacement operation or, of course, manually deleting each one, but these are hardly user-friendly methods).

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Create some text with some empty lines:

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got
And home did trot,
As fast as he could caper;
And went to bed
And plastered his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

When Jill came in
How she did grin
To see Jack's paper plaster;
Mother vexed
Did whip her next
For causing Jack's disaster.

2. Select some of the lines, being sure that at least one empty line is part of the selection:
   

3. Attempt to remove empty lines, limited to the scope of selected text, using Edit menu > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines

Expected Behavior

I expected the empty lines in my active selection to be removed, and any other empty lines to be left untouched:

Actual Behavior

All empty lines in the document were removed:
