FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS : linux (i386)



A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a drop target supports another action than the default
(which seems to be move), and indicates that by calling the
DropTargetDragEvents acceptDrag(action) method during
dragEnter(), dragOver() or dropActionChanged(), that action
should be made the current action, as long as the source
supports it and the user has not explicitely selected
another operation by holding down modidiers.

This does not work:
if the target requests another (source supported) action
than the current one, the source recieves notifications with
action=0, even though no explicit user action is requested
by holding down modifiers.

alternate actions (i.e. ACTION_COPY or ACTION_LINK) only
work when the user explicitely holds down the respective
modifier key.

for some reason, this does work correctly with jre 1.3.0
on linux (build 1.3.0_04), but the bug appears with
all windows versions i tested [(build 1.3.0-C), (build
1.3.1_02-b02), (build 1.4.0-b92)] and the jre 1.4.0 on linux
(build 1.4.0-b92)...

This seems to be a problem on the DragSource side. If you
drag items from a native application (i.e. a file from
explorer when running on windows) over a java target that
only accepts ACTION_LINK for example, that target request is
correctly handed back to the source (as indicated by the
changing cursors...)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. run the attached example DndBug
2. drag the "source" object over the various targets without
holding down any modifier keys and watch cursor feedback and
STDOUT
3. Drag some native applications objects (a file from
explorer when running windows) over the various targets of
the DndBug application without holding down any modifier
keys and watch cursor feedback and STDOUT


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:
When dragging the "source" button over other buttons, the console should display lines such as the following:

DST: drag over: action=LR, src-act=MCLR, force accept: LR
SRC: drag over: target=LR, user=0, action=LR

Actual:
When dragging the "source" button over other buttons, the console displays lines such as the following:

DST: drag over: action=M, src-act=MCLR, force accept: LR
SRC: drag over: target=LR, user=M, action=0

This bug can be reproduced always.

/**
 * Demonstration of the DnD action negotiation bug.
 * Just compile and run DndBug.
 * Try to drag the "source" to the various targets.
 * Observe STDOUT and cursor feedback.
 * Enjoy.
 * to see, how the negotiation should work:
 * Run DndBug.main on Windows (tested on w2k)
 * drag file from the Windows Explorer over the various targets of DndBug.
 * Observe STDOUT and cursor feedback.
 * Enjoy.
