Yeah, that's what I figured. I haven't gotten in the habit of doing this for whatever reason... usually the most recent context is good enough for me (but not always, which probably causes occasional problems).

That probably is a better idea than having a preference. On the other hand, the button bar is already a bit crowded. But we could make some room by getting rid of the "Where" button *if* someone improved things so that text selection highlighting in ParagraphEditor was non-global (so that selections stay highlighted when you move the mouse out of a text pane), but then that's a decent bit of work. :)
