Description Jiri Vagner 2007-05-07 13:22:05 UTC 
Dropping db table above frame in designer will create all db-jpa-bind stuff
without creating new jtable. CTRL key changes cursor to " drag copy" cursor and
it creates all db-jpa-bind stuff with new connected jtable.

But CTRL+SHIFT keys change cursor to "drag link" cursor and ... also creates
connected jtable.

In my opinion, if there is no special functionality for using "drag link"
cursor, it should be disabled. Different cursors for the same action, it is not
user friendly.

Steps to reproduce:
Create new jframe
Browse db table in Database explorer in Runtime tab
Drag table from db and drop it above frame
Press CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT key and drag and drop db another table

These cursors are standard cursors for different types of drags. We will not 
implement any hacks to make the cursors the same only because Ctrl+Shift and 
Ctrl drags has the same result in this scenario.

Ok, verified.
