draggedColumn is not reset after right click on the header of the JTable for opening a popup menu. When we call the fireTableStructureChanged method in the table model afterwards, we get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the example code. Do a mouse right click on the table header to open a pupup menu. Then, do a mouse left click on the menu entry. The exception appears.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The program runs without exception.
ACTUAL -
An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Execute getTableHeader().setDraggedColumn(null) before ((DragTestTableModel)getModel()).fireTableStructureChanged() is executed.
