JDK-4876520 - Swing drag gesture recognizers should honor drag threshold
Description

Name: bsC130419			Date: 06/21/2001


java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)

It appears that drag sensitivity is set to high and cannot be adjusted.
Clicks meant to select an item initiate a drag operation if the cursor
is accidentally moved a few pixels.
Changing Windows drag sensitivity settings using TweakUI does not have
any effects (also true for JDKs 1.2 and 1.3).
Method getSensitivity() of class
javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicDragGestureRecognizer returns 3. This value
seems to be too low and should be adjustable using system properties.

EVALUATION AWT has recently added support for picking up the desktop properties for drag sensitivity. An RFE now exists for Swing to honor these properties. This will be addressed by 4876520. ###@###.### 2003-06-24
