> @Alexey: At the moment, the selection is discarded on right click, it doesn't select anything new. I can't think of any case where that would be much better than leaving it untouched. Besides, this doesn't feel very consistent with other applications' behavior on Linux, where neither gtk nor Qt does this.

@ap, pierri: I also agree that this is something we should fix.

For example, in firefox, selection some text with the mouse and right click somewhere else in the page (outside the selection bounds). Firefox shows the context menu, but keeps the previously selected text selected.

We should behavior this way in my opinion on non-Mac editing-behaviors too.
