#1679 Don't modify selection from SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK handler

Calling SCI_GOTOLINE from a SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK handler causes a spurious selection to appear. I think it would be best to call this out in the documentation (rather than change the code). I suggest adding the following to the documentation for SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK/SCN_HOTSPOTDOUBLECLICK/SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK:

"In the notification handler, you should avoid calling any function that modifies the current selection or caret position."

How should one handle such cases? If not in the event handler? Is this documented somewhere? Currently I am able to workaround this by adding some time delay.. But I don't like this hack.. Please point me to the right direction..

Call PostMessage() with a user-defined message number to get yourself out of Scintilla event handler jail. Then handle the message you just posted in your application's message loop.
