Sample code to show MouseEvents in tree none

Description Duong Nguyen CLA 2008-01-23 14:21:59 EST 
When an item in a tree is selected to have in place editing, the mouse events are fired differently depending on the platform that you're using.

On Windows, when a tree item is clicked and an in-place editor takes focus, the MouseDown event is sent to the Tree and MouseUp is sent to the Text widget.

On GTK, when a tree item is clicked and an in-place editor takes focus, the MouseDown and MouseUp events are both sent to the Tree.

Steps:
- run the example
- select an item and cause the in-place editor to appear
- in the console you will only see the MouseDown event on Windows. On GTK, you see both the MouseDown and MouseUp events.

This just seems like a platform difference to me (that we won't work around).  Is there an application code problem here that is needed to be worked around?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
