Do you have feedback figures which are
hanging around after the mouse is released?  I'm guessing you are
faking a tooltip of some kind.  Tooltips are smart enough to never
be underneath the mouse, so this type of change wouldn't be needed in that
case.  You could override the feedback layer's containsPoint(int,
int) method to always return false.  You may want to look at popupHelper
class too.

Please open a bugzilla with the use
case.

Hello!
           
If it is not too late, I want to continue the thread. In the current draw2d
implementation mouse events are dispatched only to the uppermost figure
under the cursor. Even if the figure does not consume the event, the dispatcher
stops the search. This behavior prevents use of pseudo-transparent feedback
figures those must be placed in upper layers. As the feedback figures are
situated there, they “mask” underlying
ordinary figures.

           
Is it possible to continue dispatch cycle
until an event consummation? I suppose there can be some compatibility
issues but this behavior can be optional.
