Word's Mini Toolbar is both context sensitive and shows up on right-click

No, you are mistaken. The mini toolbar is for all intents and purposes a
CONTEXT MENU. It's context sensitive, it shows up when the user right clicks,
and it requires little mouse movement to reach. These are all qualities of
context menus. You not including ALL the functions offered by Word after a
right-click, made your comparison unfair. You made it easier to justify
removing items that should not have been removed.

I appreciate your effort to clean up the context menu, but for heavy context
menu users like me, you have gone too far. Let's discuss them in other reports
that I will file on a case by case basis.

Sorry for my harsh tone earlier. I was annoyed to be told that this change was
a feature and not a bug without any justification.  Since you agree, the ‘Text’
entry should not have been removed, lets focus on getting this bug fixed.
