/*
  Program to illustrate the shift-click bug.

Under JDK 1.3 and earlier, if I first click into a JTextComponent with
text, then I shift-click elsewhere, the text between the click and the
previous caret will become selected. This is the desired behavior, and
is standard for every GUI that I've ever used. However, under JDK 1.4beta,
this no longer happens. Shift-click behaves the same way as an ordinary
click.

  To reproduce, run this program. Click into the JTextField, the JTextArea,
or the JEditorPane. Hold down the shift key and click elsewhere in the
same component. Under JDK 1.3 or earlier, the text between the two clicks
will get selected. Under JDK 1.4beta, no text will get selected.

This bug shows up under the metal, windows, and motif looks and feels. I
didn't test under any others. I presume it's cross platform, but I have
only tested it under Windows.

PLEASE fix this before the release of JDK 1.4. It's so annoying when a new
release breaks an existing feature that I use a lot.
