Hi Ian,

I did some cursory testing and it looks good so I merged your patches.

Cheers,

The main tool I found that it happens to are the zone drawing tools (specifically the draw cutout menu item). These two patches fix that issue.

It also implements a memory of menu positioning, so the position used for a menu selection event is the position where the root menu was opened. It also introduces a new event action type TA_PRIME that is used to represent a tool prime click event (it is generated by the tool manager using a position passed into the function).
