Q:

Replacing column selection with ">" removes code lines

I have several lines of property definitions, e.g.:  
public InputProp<string CsProtocol { private get; set; }
public InputProp<string CsHost { private get; set; }
public InputProp<string CsPort { private get; set; }
public InputProp<string CsService { private get; set; }

Now I want to insert a > after the strings.
So I use the column selection (Alt+DrawLeftMouse) to select column after string in all lines. After that I press > and expect that > will be inserted after strings of all lines.
But unfortunatily the first lines are removed and > is inserted only to the last line.
What is so special with >? It works with other characters.  
Is there a workaround or fix to insert > in column selections?

A:

Why not select the lines and use the find and replace function ? 

find: InputProp<string (dont forget the space after string)
replace: InputProp<string>
