InlineGraphicElement + LinkElement + SelectionManager bug
If you have an image that is used as an anchor (link), you
are supposed to be able to click on the image to initiate the link
processing. However, if you have a SelectionManager in your
TextFlow, things dont work 100% the way they should.
Specifically, if you try to click on the link by moving your mouse cursor directly over the image (meaning without touching any other text that may be a part of the link first i.e. <a href='foo'>aaa<img source='...' />bbb</a>... dont touch aaa or bbb with your cursor), then the image does not act as a link.
However if you DO move your mouse cursor over other text in the link just prior to moving the mouse on to the image, then the image DOES respond to the click as a Link (i.e. slide your mouse from the left to the right going over the aaa and then directly onto the img).
I have attached a simple example program that illustrates this problem, however you must take the car to move the mouse as I have described in the post.
I am using Gumbo 5032 TLF 277.
If someone can please confirm this as a bug I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tim
