Salut,

There are several ways to work around this issue. The easiest is
probably to select entire columns by clicking on the column header then
ctrl-clicking on the other columns
  -for series plots- pick the columns in series order
  -for x,y plots-pick the x first, then the y in series order
The extra blank rows will be discarded. Note, that rows can be selected
in similar fashion.

Another way to work is to assemble the selection series by series.
First, select the first series (or the x values) using the mouse to
highlight a region. Then hold down the ctrl key while making the other
selections with the mouse.

cheers,
