Description

In the ImageJ mailing list Rob van 't Hof reported the following issue with beta 3:

"When drawing within a selection, the selection is moved around by the drawing action."

To duplicate open boats, draw a rect overlay, select brush tool, and draw within overlay. The drawing works correctly but the overlay moves around while drawing and ends up in a new position.

After some debugging this seems to be related to how we have a JHotDraw oriented ToolDelegator class and a IJ2 oriented DefaultToolService. Both of them deal with passing events around from tools to interested listeners but one works in Swing event space and one works in IJ2's event space. I think the events are getting handled twice. ToolDelegator says the selection tool is active and handles those events by dragging the overlay figure. At the same time I think DefaultToolService says the active tool is Pencil for instance and handles the IJ2 events by changing pixel data. Fixing might be as simple as not turning on the selection tool in the ToolDelegator in certain cases but I haven't found the correct cases when this should happen. Johannes, can you look at this a bit?
