Description robross 2005-06-29 22:32:35 UTC 
On Mac OS, a control+mouseclick combination is the trigger for the right-menu popup, ie, context-
sensitive menu. But in the Designer window in Matisse, command-click is triggering the popup menu, and 
control-click is adding/removing the selected item from the current selection. These key-mouse 
comibinations should be reversed.

Both Control-click and Command-click show popup menu.

The problem is that with the command key the mouse event has both left and right mouse button (together with META modifier). We check the buttons exclusively, right one first.

To recognize when to show popup menu we should use MouseEvent.isPopupTrigger() (check both in mousePressed and mouseReleased).
To recognize a plain right click (that e.g. cancels dragging) we should check there is no left mouse button at the same time (on mousePressed).
For adding/removing selection we should check left button and Meta (like Ctrl, on mousePressed).
