Really confusing to the end user.
What I'm saying is, have mouseDown invoke cursorUpdate with the mouseDown event, so that if the position is different from the last real cursorUpdate/mouseMoved, the highlighted item will change to the item that's being dragged. That may sound wrong, but it's the same behavior as if the mouse was really moving when you pressed the button. Would I be correct in saying that the behavior you're asking for is as follows? The mouse location reported in any event following mouseMoved or mouseDragged (except another mouseMoved or mouseDragged, of course) must be the same as the mouse location reported by the preceding mouseMoved or mouseDragged event. Although the above might have been mostly true in the past, I doubt it was ever guaranteed in any way. However, even if it were true (or for that matter, even if your mouseDown called cursorUpdate/mouseMoved), it wouldn't truly solve your problem. It would mean that the dragged item is highlighted, not that the item the user attempted to click on (and was highlighted at the start of the attempt, perhaps) is dragged. See what I mean? > PS: None of your or my replies seem to make it through to the list although > both you an I cc the list. Not sure why that is. I think the list is just still slow. Or again.
