Okay no problem, I now have it working for me since using 
setComponentPopup(). The only thing I would say is that is if Cntl-Click 
is meant to work the same as Right-Click on OSX in all situations it 
does seem there is a minor issue that it breaks my old code but this is 
no longer a problem for me.
