FWIW, the Darcula L&F has the selection active on the entire line out of the box. Pls. test that this does not break with your changes. However the context right click only works on the node labels' area. I have also tried the Windows Explorer - they really have an usability issue: I managed to get just items from a single parent filling the entire tree viewport and there was NO space to click for the non-contex right-click menu. Note that there was not an argument about the left-click (selection) behaviour, but just about the context menu: the usability issue to solve is that the area to right click may be **too narrow**. It's actually accessible always as the node icon (but not the expand handle!) works for right-click even for a "one space" name, so I wouldn't trade impossibility to right-click for the main menu for 'just' increased availability of the context menu. What about a compromise ? A minimum width for the area active for a node right-click, in case the node's text itself is too narrow - expressed in 'eM's ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
