What I did in the same scenario was move the selectionChanged code to mouseDown. I couldn't find another way around it. You have to set dragData in mouseDown. mouseDown is sent before selectionChanged and setting the dragData kills selectionChanged.

Exactly what I was seeing, but you explained it better.


I'm not sure that this is directly related to setting the dragData though. It seems there are other ways to kill selectionChanged in mouseDown as well. For example:

on selectionChanged
    answer "selectionChanged"
    pass selectionChanged
end selectionChanged

on mouseDown
    answer "mouseDown"
    pass mouseDown
end mouseDown

In Rev 2.6 on OS X you will never see the answer dialog for selectionChanged. If you remove the answer "mouseDown" code you will. A repeat loop in a mouseDown event can kill selectionChanged. See bug #2930.

That's very similar to what I was doing, and I saw the same results. I found that if I pass mouseDown on the first line then it works okay. So I'm checking for a condition first:

on mouseDown
  if <condition> then pass mouseDown -- allows selectionChanged to trigger
  -- set dragData, implement dragging here
end mouseDown

And this seems to work okay. Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem of what condition to actually check for. I don't think there's a way to differentiate between clicking on a list and dragging from a list without adding a user action, so right now I'm checking to see if the Option key is down. If so, we're dragging. I'd rather be able to just tell without involving the user though.


So there are many ways to keep selectionChanged to keep from being  called.


Interesting. I'll go look at that bug. Thanks.
