when a drag-operation starts, it seems that SWT stops processing events
until either the mouse is moved or the button is released.
To reproduce the behavior, start the test given below and position your
mouse-pointer above a tree-item. As soon as you push down the left
mouse-button the counter will stop ...
Is this expected behavior ?
I work on an application which shows quite a lot of real-time updated
information. As soon as the mouse-button is pressed on any of the
drag-drop enabled components *everything* in the GUI freezes, and SWT
pollutes its async-queue with a ton of events. These events will then be
"post" processed, ie. they get processed as soon as the mouse
moves/releases.
