Maybe I'm just used to the old option, but yes, when I'm using a 
hierarchical project, the most likely action I take in a sub sheet is 
exiting it.  Usually this is because I'm moving around the schematic to 
figure out where some element is or wiring up the sheet and trying to 
remember the internal connections.

Actions like Start Wire and Start Bus are hotkeys, so I use keystrokes 
and not context menu.  Start wire may make sense for the context menu 
when clicking on a wire end or pin but I can't think of a reason to ever 
start a wire in the empty schematic area.

I'm attaching a video of what happens on Linux.  But this doesn't always 
happen.  If I get a big group selected, it appears to be closer to the 
center.
