When positionning from error view do not automaticaly select text in editor

In RD Power, when there are compile errors they are shown in the Error list
view. When we double-click on an error in that list, the editor is positionned
to the line, column of the error.
The code in error is also selected.
However we find that it is very rare that we want to do something with the
selected text and the fact that we now have an active selection is a hindrance
as we continue to work because we have to unselect first in most cases.

Intead of selecting the error text, simply highlite it the same way as when
using Find in the editor.
If you want to allow the current behavior, you could have a preference


Use Case:

To correct an error, we need to move some lines, with this enhancement we could simply to select the lines we want to move without having to unselect the error fisrt.

    This is expected behavior and it will be useful once quick fix is enabled. If a variable isn’t found, it would be helpful to have the text selected to create via the dspec wizard, or to search for /copy or /include files for the selected variable name. (If any actions are NOT available because of selected text, open a PMR or RFE to request the action allow selected text.)

    It'd also be great if the error view DID NOT steal focus from the editor upon population. We're not point-an-click programmers for the most part and when I'm keying code, the error window invariably gets in the way.

    Plus the "Complile" options are greyed out until you Alt+U.
