M20050831-1200 + ZRH plugins from R3_1_maintenance

When I open Window > Preferences, switch to another page, press Cancel, and then
open the preferences again, then the dialog shows the last shown preference
page. This is good and expected.

OTOH, when I do the same by opening the preferences from a text or java editor
context menu, the shown preference page is always the top page of that editor
type. I would expect that the last visited page is also shown again when opening
the preferences via context menu. If the last visited page is not a child of the
editor's top preference page, then it's fine to show the editor's preference page.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
