Upgrade to a newer version of ImageJ. In ImageJ 1.34 and later, lanes  
are assumed to be vertical unless the selection is at least twice as  
wide as it is tall. Look for either

     "Lane 1 selected (vertical lanes)"

or

     "Lane 1 selected (horizontal lanes)"

to be displayed in the status bar when you press 1 to select the  
first lane.
