A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Since 1.5.0_05, interval selection is broken if table's celleditor is not null.

After some painful debugging, it is found that since at least _05, looking at _06 src at the moment, that in:

javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.Handler.mouseDragged(), it only checks for Table's CellEditor being null and then returns if it is non-null. Previously, code would check for null && see if edit.shouldSelectCell(e) before returning.

Code Snipplet:

_06:

            // Check isFileList:
            // Until we support drag-selection, dragging should not change
            // the selection (act like single-select).
            if (isFileList || table.getCellEditor() != null) {
                return;
            }

_04:

            CellEditor editor = table.getCellEditor();
            if (editor == null || editor.shouldSelectCell(e)) {

We have a table with an editor that previously allow for interval selection is now broken, would be greatful if you can put this small fix in.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I believe any JTable returning a non-null CellEditor in getCellEditor() will reproduce this problem.

After making our getCellEditor() return null, interval selection by mouse drag is ok again.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
interval selection being broken
ACTUAL -
interval selection being broken

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

In:
javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.Handler.mouseDragged()


_06:

            // Check isFileList:
            // Until we support drag-selection, dragging should not change
            // the selection (act like single-select).
            if (isFileList || table.getCellEditor() != null) {

_04:

            CellEditor editor = table.getCellEditor();
            if (editor == null || editor.shouldSelectCell(e)) {
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
none so far, since overriding getCellEditor to return null breaks our editor
