            I would also add, why reinvent the wheel if by classic_jon2007-04-06 13:54:21
              Maybe in a time-critical app it can work better? by TheGM2007-04-06 13:59:09
                on anything but a mouse button click I would agree by classic_jon 2007-04-06 14:35:50
with you. Unless you have to have a specifically timed mouse click somewhere adding the extra layer of intercepting the OS level mouse_down_primary events would be silly. The programmer would have had to specifically trapped the right mouse button as the primary and told it to ignore any other click events as primary.

Sounds to me like the app is written in Java most likely to have this issue.

This is an interesting mental exercise to try and figure it out but DR66 still has to go lart the programmers who wrote it to get it fixed. In all seriousness, depending on how the bid was worded, this could void the entire bid and/or cost someone their job :(
