bpo-39885: Make IDLE context menu cut and copy work again (GH-18951)

Leave selection when right click within.  This exception to clearing selections when right-clicking was omitted from the previous commit, 4ca060d.  I did not realize that this completely disabled the context menu entries, and  I should have merged a minimal fix immediately.  An automated test should follow.

 accidental deletion.  It also updates Ln and Col on the status bar.
