Bugzilla Bug 348

there appears to be an oddity in the selection code
in the view which shows up with the keyboard context
menu (menu key on Win95+ keyboards or Shift-F10).

using the keyboard, begin a selection from left to
right on a line of text. then hit the MenuKey.
now do the same thing starting on the right and extending
to the left and hit the MenuKey.  now repeat each of
those selections using the mouse and hit the MenuKey.

notice how the location of the popup is different
depending upon how the selection was created.

we should get this to behave the same.

also, we to verify how various other applications
do this -- i just chose one end of the selection.

This is actually consistent behavior.  The upper left corner of the menu always
appears directly below the place where the selection began.  This doesn't strike
me as such bad behavior.  But I'm definitely unsure about this.

Mouse menu popup behaviour is standard (where mouse cursor is)
Keyboard popup:
Using NotePad, it's the centre of the window. (bad - not expecting focus there)
Using Word97, it's always start of selection. (Depends on personal preference)

Note, however, that the menu disappears when using Menu key and insertion point
is off screen. (Popup sound still plays, so it's probably just showing up off-
screen.)

For me, the menu always pops up at the mouse's position. is this wrong/bad?

This is about as expected as things get. The menu always show up where the
mouse
is located. closing.

I agree with Tim. Closing.
