Bill,

Since I'm not changing the data, but only picking values, I really don't
need to use a CellImpl/doAction()approach with it's spurious mouse
behavior.  Using a DisplayListener/displayChanged() approach watching
for a right mouse event seems to work fine for picking while maintaining
all other mouse functionality, so that's the way to go.  So anyway, by
keeping all the "picking" code inside the method call the same and by
just replacing the CellImpl/doAction() wrapper code with a
DisplayListener/displayChanged() equivalent results in expected mouse
behavior.

Bill,

Attached here is the console output from a session where the problem
appeared.  It's mostly generated by your DisplayEvent.toString() method
to show what mouse activity the DisplayImpl was seeing.  The pick event
messages come from a println() within the CellImpl.doAction().  The 1st
set of output shows right mouse events correctly resulting in pick
events from the CellImpl.doAction().  The 2nd set of output first
generated a cursor upon left mouse press, and then a pick event upon
left mouse release!?!  I'm going to try and instrument the code a little
more...  Any ideas while I do that?

thanks...  dlf

Don,

Then the behavior you describe is a great mystery. I don't
recall ever hearing about a similar problem. If you can
send me your application so I can run it. Even better would
be a small test program that generates the problem.
