Description Havoc Pennington 2003-01-31 23:19:17 UTC 
In gtk-demo, it seems that if you select some text, then click 
anywhere in the text widget, you get the right-click menu 
with cut/copy/paste. However in gedit, you must click inside
the selection.

right-clicks move cursor may make some confusion. the patch delete
removes the right-clicks signal.

I need that the right-clicks move the cursor for the spell checker plugin.
Have you tested you patch using the automatic spell checking feature?
Comment 4 Jian He 2003-06-30 12:25:47 UTC 
Thanks for your mentions.
I have tested the patch for automatic spell checking, It has no problems.
In Autocheck Spelling mode, the error word will red and underline.
When I move cursor on error word and rightclick, menu contains
Spelling Suggestions, when cursor on correct word, menu becomes normal.
The only difference is cursor will not move on rightclick, I thiks
this is the right solutions, and more clearly, and more easy to use.
