Saving template from right-click menu doesn't work as anticipated

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When an item is selected and the right-click menu is invoked, it is often 
impossible to save the item as a template (the option is greyed out and 
unavailable). This happens even when it is perfectly possible to save the 
template by going to the edit menu.  Could this be related somehow to the other 
bug I reported with rotating an item through the right-click menu?

Cheers, Paul

There also seems to be a problem sometimes with applying a template through the 
right click menu. For instance, I created a template for traces called "2mm 
trace" through the edit menu.  Now when I (immediately afterwards) click on 
another trace and select "Apply template", nothing happens, even though the 
option is NOT greyed out, and there is even a rightwards pointing arrow 
indicating that a template exists for the part. But it won't show me the 
template itself to select. Note that this happens even while template 
application by this method is working for other parts.

One more thing.  When applying a template to an *existing part*, it should not 
alter the orientation or position of the ends, just the other attributes. For 
instance, if I have a template for a trace, and I apply that to existing trace, 
I obviously only want the width of the trace to change, not how it is joined to 
other things. Similarly for an e-cap, I would want it to stay connected to 
other things in the same way, but I *would* want the values, width, and length 
to change to follow the template, if, for example, I changed between a 22uF and 
a 47uF cap.

the function doesn´t make anything.
