Interestingly I complained several weeks ago that the context menu applied
to the current selection even if the current selection was scrolled off
screen causing unexpected things to happen if I right clicked on something
to rename it or to jump to its definition. At the time the idea was floated
that the right click outside a selection should move the insertion point.

Windows isn't terribly consistent since both behaviours exist often in the
same application. At the moment I'm typing in Outlook which moves the
insertion point. Yet in a text field in a dialog it doesn't move the
insertion point.

Its impossible to keep all of us happy.

Subject: [Eap-list] Context menu changes insertion point


One thing I find annoying is that when I right click to bring up the
context menu, Idea moves my text insertion point. Also clicking outside
of the menu to dismiss the menu (I know I could hit escape, but it's
just habit) moves the insertion point again. I'm running build 509 on
Windows 2000.
