I've been using the GAL canvas from the start and therefore pressing the 
ESC key twice to deselect an object is 'natural' to me. Even more since 
LibreCAD, the other tool I use regularly, has the same behavior.

It never occured to me this behavior might not be intended.

I also second Greg's and Oliver's argument that the component remains 
selected. Especially for multiple selected objects, having to reselect 
them each time the context menu is dismissed would be a tedious task.

Regards,

Ingo
