	This is still the current behaviour...but have proposal/prototype to select the entire current line
	of an empty selection.

Suggest not to select current line - we cannot infer what the user wants
to "inspect/display". However, we need to find out from EG, if action
should just be disabled when no selection, or if we should provide a
dialog explaining that an expression needs to be selected to be evaluated.

From EG
In your particular case of Display/Inspect:
* automatically expanding the selection to the line is not consistent with the 
rest of the platform.
In particular the user never sees this implicit selection and the wrong 
expression could
be executed by accident.
* recommend to just disable Display/Inspect when the selection is empty
* to simplify the execution of the recently entered text, we could provide a 
short-cut (ctrl-w)
that selects the text between the end of the last output and the current cursor 
position (see 5357)

Fixed.  Please verify in the display and Java Editor context menus and tool bars

And the snippet editor.

Verified in context menu and toolbar for snippet editor, in context menu and 
toolbar for DisplayView, and in context menu for java editor.
