Got this interesting situation regarding how to deal with contextual menu actions against multiple lines in a locked scrolling field.
Right clicking on a line highlights the line and brings up the contextual menu. The actions in the contextual menu can apply to multiple lines in the scrolling list field. I can select multiple lines by any of the usual methods but as soon as I right-click on any of them, the rest of the selected lines lose their hilite and any actions I select from the contextual menu happen for just the line I right-clicked. As yet, I haven't found a way to grab the right click before the deselection of lines takes place. I thought mouseDown should do it but the highlighting change has already happened by then. Also tried selectionChanged but that was never triggered, probably because the field is locked. Right now, the only way I can make this work if is to hold down one of the modifier keys for selecting multiple lines (shift, command) at the same time as right clicking. Then all the hilited lines remian hilited and all works fine. That's OK but it feels like there should be an easier way to achieve this from the HIG perspective. Any thoughts?
