Hyperlinks not activated by callback?

[Guest]

Hi,

the method mouseClicked in RSyntaxTextArea is not called when the user clicks into the editor.

Thus, the code to activate the hyperlink-callbacks is never activated.

Btw, the method mouseMoved is called when the user moves the mouse.

Hi Stefan,

Are you holding down Ctrl when hovering over a hyperlink? RSTA requires a modifier key to be pressed for hyperlinks to be scanned for and activated (see setLinkScanningMask(int)). And yes, we use a MouseMotionListener so we can detect when the mouse moves into a hyperlink, so we can change the cursor to/from the standard link "hand" cursor.

Hi Robert,

as always, thanks for your answer. I should have seen this myself.

Now a new problem occurs:

I implemented a HyperlinkListener, upon a click the listener-callback now gets called, I get passed the data as expected - everything is ok up to this point.

BUT: after the click the hyperlink keeps beeing selected, when I click back directly into the RSyntaxTextArea, the link immediately gets activated again - independently from where I click.

I'll look into this.

I couldn't reproduce this, but I pushed what I think would be a fix anyway. If you can, try to grab at least revision 479 from SVN and see if you can reproduce the 2x link activation issue.

Hi Robert,

yes! This (stopScanningForLinks) fixes my problem.
