Description _ gtzabari 2002-09-26 15:18:47 UTC 
The default JDK behavior allows one to use the right mouse 
button (as well as the left) to select text. This leads to 
the following problem.

1) Use left mouse button to select text
2) Right click and select COPY

   if, during step 2, you moved the mouse a bit too much 
the JDK will think you're selecting new text and drop your 
old selection. This happens quite frequently here and I 
assume other users suffer as well. I'm unsure if this is a 
bug or enhancement so for now I am filing it as a bug. 
Please refile if you feel its appropriate.
