Ignore my previous context menu complaint. I was confused. I thought I
saw a case where right clicking to bring up the context menu caused the
text insertion point to be randomly repositioned in the text. However,
I've not been able to reproduce this since. Either I was hallucinating
(too much coffee, too little sleep) or it got fixed somewhere along the
way.

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.

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.
