This is a very annoying bug that appeared in 1559. (using VS 2k3)

Shift+Right Click moves the carat to the location of the click regardless of character data. Ie it will place the carat in the middle of the screen for a document that is simply a series of newlines.

It could be related to the Selection lost on Context Menu bug 7569.
These bugs does not occur via the Context-Menu in the margin.
It seems related to the fix to the disappearing context menu bug (forgot #).

I would expect that Shift+Right Click context menu should behave identical to Right Click in Margin context menu and it would not move the carat/selection at all.

Moving the caret to the location where you shift + right click is by design. We have had various people requesting this, and saying that not moving the caret is a bug. In this case VA's menu is supposed to behave the same as the standard IDE right click menu.

When you want to use shift+right click to trigger refactoring is a good example of when you may want the caret to move to the click position.

Moving the caret into the middle of a blank line is a bug:
