Re: Can't select text after popup menu

[Rob Clack <rnc sanger ac uk>]

Well I'm getting to understand the problem better!

I have text in a scrollable window.  When I right-click with the mouse 
to display a popup menu, something nails the insertion point into the 
text in that position.  Once I've dismissed the popup menu, I need to be 
able to select the text with the left mouse button, but the insertion 
point is still firmly nailed where the menu appeared.

Half my previous problem has been solved by
        editable->has_selection = TRUE
so at least now when I drag the mouse cursor across the text it does 
highlight it up.  However, it's still just highlighting with respect to 
the insertion point.

So it seems to me what I need to do is make the insertion point coincide 
with the mouse cursor.  Or at least free it from where it's been put.

At least I _think_ it's the insertion point.  My grasp of the 
terminology is a bit vague still.
