Short description of error
after creating a cube, the align to view option is ignored when using the adjust last operation panel...but only if the adjust last operation panel is called using the f9 key when the mouse is not over the 3d viewport.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
add a cube, move the mouse off of the 3d viewport onto a different panel. press f9, change the align option to 'view', nothing happens, try 'world', now try '3d cursor'. 3d cursor always works, but dependant on which panel you're over world may or may not work, but 'view' will never work.

Perhaps each operator should check which 3d view the object in question was created in, and get the view information from that regardless of which panel the mouse is over?

Location of cursor is indeed important to get right context.. shortcuts change a lot due to that.
So one cannot expect wrong methods to do the right thing.

Hi Ankit, I don’t think context applies regarding the adjust last operation......unless each window has its own undo history? That would be nice by the way.

Context does apply here. It is basically the same as if you re-executed operator from different area with new settings applying to context of that area.

Perhaps it would be better if the adjust last operation could check if the context was valid, and if not use the previous context. For example in this case, if the new context is not of the same type (3d view) as when the intitial operator was run, then it would use the view data from the initial context, if it is valid, ie another 3d view, then it would use the new context.
