You can use SCI_POSITIONFROMPOINTCLOSE (see the implementation of lineAt() and then pass the result to lineIndexFromPosition().

I could add a lineIndexAt().

================

I don't think its necessary...  However, I think the real issue, is the RMB doesn't move the cursor..

In a "quick" survey of the editors on my desktop, Lemmy did, notepad didn't, visual studio does, as does Sigasi.

In the onContextEvent, I simply move the caret and all is well from that point forward.
