Hello General question about 5.0 here.
Did they change the way mouse events were issued? Am not that familiar with 5.0 as have not had time to get into it. I know a lot of things were changed but can not remember if mouse events were changed or the event generation in general like they did from 1.3 to 1.4 for swing. If they did then maybe the code is not catching something that is sent differently. Patrick or anybody with a 5.0 environment could you debug this issue? You should be able to catch the problem in the following modules: Screen5250.java - method moveCursor Gui5250.java - actionPopup() or in the jbInit() method where it adds the mouse listener. After looking at the code I wonder if the events are sent in a different order or more events are being sent than before. Hummm maybe there needs to be a consume for the mouse event now. Not sure.... I remember having a problem with 1.3 when there was a consume of the mouse event in one of the methods. Also problems with using SwingUtilities for identifying the popup trigger on linux boxes. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Kenneth Quoting Kenneth Pouncey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Wim > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > Hello all, > > > > just noticed in my configuration.
