Example - You have two files open, file1 is in focus and
file2 is available by the tab but out of focus. If you
right click on the out of focus file (file2), and select
Close, then file1 is closed. This had me spooked for a
while :-)

    it's true - but what's the problem.

    Well the normal behaviour is to be able to close or affect a
    file that is not in focus.

    When hovering with mouse over a file tab, the file lights up,
    so the user expects that any context menu commands will
    affect the file that is now lit, and not the one that is in focus.

    The problem is that the user ends up closing their current file,
    and not the one that they have right-clicked.

    i have implemented the right - click on the file-tabs in
    version 2.0.9 like in delphi. if you click with the right
    mouse button on the file-tab then first the selected file
    become the focus. i think this is really better...-:)
