Description Veronika Irvine CLA 2001-10-18 16:30:18 EDT 
On Linux, Drag and Drop is initiated with the middle mouse button.
When dragging views around Eclipse, it should also use the middle mouse 
button.  Currently the left mouse button is used on all platforms.
Comment 1 Veronika Irvine CLA 2002-05-01 15:59:49 EDT 
You are not calling any API for drag start - you are making up your own 
conditions on when dragging starts.  See PartDragDrop - it defines a hysteresis 
and adds a mouse move listener.

You could hook  SWT.DragDetect to get the system behaviour.
Comment 2 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-05-17 14:58:45 EDT 
Not going to get to for 2.0.
Comment 3 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-08-08 16:43:36 EDT 
Reopen for investigation
Comment 4 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-08-20 10:04:15 EDT 
Reassigning to KR since he's working in this area.
Comment 5 Knut Radloff CLA 2002-09-23 18:12:46 EDT 
Changed PartDragDrop to use SWT DragDetect event instead of MouseDown.
Proper operation on Linux depends on a fix for bug 23997. Fix is NOT released.

Kept the existing hysteresis to preserve existing view drag'n drop feel. 
CTabPartDragDrop and ShortcutBarPartDragDrop keep existing contraints for drag 
start as well.
