MouseInputListeners and drag'n'drop

Hi.

I have a component, a Jwhich implements DragGestureRecognizer and has a
number of MousInputListeners added to it. As soon as those listeners are
added, it loses the ability to recognize a drag gesture (ie.
dragGestureRecognized never gets called). This can be traced exactly to when
the listener, a MouseInputAdapter with only a mousePressed method defined,
is added. If you don't add that listener, drag and drop are recognised.

Any ideas why this should be? Surely adding a MouseInputListener shouldn't
affect the base ability to recognise drag and drop?

Cheers,
Ian

probably you call in your MouseInputListener#mouseXxxxx(MouseEvent e)
e.consume();

No - I looked for that. No consume() call in there at all. The
mousePressed() passes control to an outer classes's handlePress method,
which copies a few values from the event (component, isControDown,
isShiftDown) then creates a Runnable invoked using
SwingUtilities.invokeLater. No consume().

Cheers,
Ian
