Right click and selection [message #148726]

Hi all,
I noticed a strange behaviour in my editor and Logic do the same: the
selection is not always updated when clicking with the right mouse button
and
the displayed popup menu is wrong.

With selection tool:
- if you right click a part, this will be selected and the menu updated
- if you right click on the background, the last selection is not
deselected and the old popup menu is displayed

With the connection tool and a part selected, everywhere you right
click the selection is never updated and the old popup menu is displayed.

This causes the user to perform action on the wrong part.
Bugzilla #30069 is similar and my question is: will this remain so?

I am using Eclipse 3.0 with GEF 3.0 on Win 2000

Thanks in advance for any help

Roberto

Do you know if the MarqueeDragTracker is returned in this case (Button 3),
or is it the DeselectTracker?

While searching for a response to your queston I saw that the
AbstractCreationTool don't care about the selection.
In handleButtonDown(int button) if button!=1 there is no call to
updateTargetUnderMouse()and following tracker request as in SelectionTool.
Is this the problem?
I am using GEF 3.0.0

Probably a small bug. I think it's impossible for MouseMove or MouseEnter
not to have occurred prior to mouseDown

Sure, no bug is too small.
