Hi everyone,
I'm confused about how pressed and dragged events are related in JavaFX. My
initial assumption was that MOUSE_PRESSED events would *always* precede
MOUSE_DRAGGED events. That is, you would never find a case where a
MOUSE_DRAGGED event fired on a node and a MOUSE_PRESSED event had not fired.
However I then found the following exception: when I have a popup showing that
is configured to hide itself when it loses focus. If I drag on a background
node, a MOUSE_DRAGGED handler will fire but a MOUSE_PRESSED handler will not.
Like the MOUSE_PRESSED event is being consumed in the process of hiding the
popup, or something. I observed this behaviour in both JavaFX 7 and 8.
Is this a bug? Or am I making too many assumptions about how MOUSE_PRESSED and
MOUSE_DRAGGED events are related?
Cheers,
Rob
