Synopsis: Context menu in editor gone since 6.5!!!!
Description
I was trying the context menu in the editor and was horrified that it had disappeared since 6.5. In 6.4, you would get the menu as shown in the attachment, but in 6.5 and 6.6 it has simply disappeared. This doesn't work regardless of your preference for pick and drop. Ted, can you look at that?
To Reproduce
Right click anywhere on the editor and nothing appears.

Thanks, Ian. Now this is integrated at rev#83715.
Patch looks good. We could have also updated the editor to have a 'void' pebble representation so we don't have to deal with void internally, but as this was how we did it before this is the correct change.
Ian, can you have a quick look at the patch? I will commit if you approve. Thanks.
I can notice we had in the past (and still recently) a few annoying issue with Void-safety conversion sometimes, it is linked to the usage of "check" to prove void-safety. I guess, we should try to get rid of all check /= Void end ... and always have a else part which does something we should not "ignore" the else part. For this current issue, I don't know if this is related to this kind of issue.
This was broken at rev#79073 - Vision2 void-safty integration where if the pebble is void, corresponding creation routine is not called anymore. I tried fixing the problem, please review if the change makes sense.
