Hi, Ive think Ive found the issue for me , I created this test case and 
it works correctly as you say

import javax.swing.*;

public class TableTest
{
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
     {
         JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu("Popup");
         popup.add(new JMenuItem("Copy"));
         JTable test = new JTable(5,5);
         test.setComponentPopupMenu(popup);
         test.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
         test.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
         JFrame frame = new JFrame();
         frame.add(test);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setVisible(true);
     }
}

But if you comment out the line

         test.setComponentPopupMenu(popup);

so that there is no popup menu then it doesn't work, CntlClick will 
change the selection.

Whether this is a bug, or correct behaviour Im not sure  ?

But the reason why this is causing an issue for me in my current code is 
that Im not using setComponentPopupMenu()instead I'm adding a mouse 
handler  to the table that then decides whether or not to show a popup 
menu so I guess the logic for Jtable must not detect that it has a popup 
menu in this case. I've checked and the method was not added to JTable 
until Java 1.5 and my code was started before then so hopefully I can 
just update my code to  use the method and the problem will go away for me.
