I have user menu items of the following which have the following form

<something>%M%C<something else>

for example

(%M%C)

This should mean that if text is selected when triggered, the text selection is surrounded by the insertions and the cursor is placed just after the selection. For example

ab

should become

(ab<cursor here>)

If no text is selected, I should get

(<cursor here>)

This pattern is reflected in the example.xml which uses it for small-caps with-or-without-selected-text.

\textsc{%M%C}

However, whether my menu items or small-caps from example.xml, what actually happens is that, if text is selected,

%M<something>%M%C<something else>

is inserted into the document. So, rather than

(ab<cursor here>)

you get

ab(ab<cursor here>)

This doesn't happen if you require text to be selected. However, then you can't use the item without a selection.

This is a regression: it worked just fine with user tags in previous versions of Kile.
