[news.eclipse.platform] Bug in the user interface / improvment?

[pelle2004@xxxxxxxxxxx (Pelle Svensson)]

What I'm trying to do is probaly a bug/not possible. I like to
retrieve the text on the location where the context menu popup.

Example:

In Eclipse's Java editor I have following text,

public FindReferencesAction(IWorkbenchSite site) {
	super(site);
}

public FindReferencesAction(JavaEditor editor) {
	super(editor);
}

1. I move the cursor to 'IWorkbenchSite' and push left mouse.
  Carret is now at IWorkbenchSite and that word is grayed.

2. Right click and select Declaration/Project -> works fine
  I get the declaration for IWorkbenchSite

3. Now I move the cursor down over 'JavaEditor' and right click
  and select Declaration/Project -> I'm now getting the
  result for IWorkbenchSite and NOT the JavaEditor.

In all movement the hover text of the underlying text is right
but the context menues refer to the carret.

I think this should be fixed and some new functionality/API added
for retrieving the offset into the text where the context
menu is activated by the right mouse button.
