Changing click behaviour

Hi Matt,

Your problem was found and fixed in sq 7004.

See mantis bug report.

http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2452

Since you are still having the problem I imangine you
are using a 3.8 version of squeak and maybe a
squeakland version. It has not been fixed there.

You can try the patch in the bug report.
If that does not work (some of the methods in the
patches changed between versions) you msy be able to
follow the outline of the patching to determine where
to fix things in your version.

Let us know how you fare.

Yours in service, -- Jerome Peace

P.S. I highly recommend browsing mantis for newbies.
It is a good place to find answers and more
importantly questions about how squeak works.

A good style for mining mantis is to click view
issues.
Type in keywords and press the "apply filter" (aka
search) button.
You will get a list of relevant topics.

Hmmm. You will also probably want to see even closed
issues.

That's great thanks. I am using the stock 3.8 vm with basic image as
you guessed.

With a little help from the folks in #squeak i was able to fix this
myself by modifying PluggableListMorph (and the subclass responsible
for method categories) to set audoDeselect to be false although I
didn't modify mouseUp behaviour. In the process I learned a little
something about how Squeak works so it was a useful exercise :)

Good to know about mantis too.

Regards,

Matt
