Possible regressionn, popupmenus not appearing to work correctly with cntl-click

[Leonid Romanov]

I see.. While it might pose an inconvenience in some scenarios on OS X, I don't think it's an issue, since Apple JDK 6 behaves the same way, so I'm going to close the bug.

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.
