Description Sian January

If I make a selection in Eclipse (e.g. in the Package Explorer view) and then 
use Shift+F10 to bring up the context menu the menu pops up correctly but it 
is located wherever the mouse pointer is. I would expect the context menu to 
be located over the selected item, which is the behaviour in Microsoft 
Windows  and, I imagine, in other operating systems and programs.  This is 
reproducible in Eclipse 3.1 RC2.

I'm not sure that 20898 was a duplicate of this bug - they seem to be 
describing two quite different problems.  Maybe you meant to mark it as a 
duplicate of 100033?

See bug 5892 for a discussion of this issue.
(Unfortunately, that bug was recently WONTFIXed.)
