[kepler-dev] Re: right click bug with linux and OSX

[Dan Higgins]

Christopher,

       I recompiled with the new JCanvas,java code and everthing now 
seems to work OK on a MacOS X (more precisely OS X 10.3.4) !  Thanks!!!  
(This was just a quick check; I will let you know if I see any problems 
with further use).
