2.0b3 mouseButton value for mouseReleased()

in Core Library Questions • 1 year ago

I just started moving my Processing sketch from 1.5.1 to 2.0b3. The first thing I notice (that I haven't been able to resolve with new docs) is the value of mouseButton has changed in the mouseReleased() method. Instead of having a value of LEFT (aka 37) or RIGHT (aka 39), it has 0. Is this expected behavior?

Thanks...

From the source code, it looks like mouseButton gets a value among MouseEvent.BUTTON1, MouseEvent.BUTTON2, MouseEvent.BUTTON3 (values from Java/AWT).
A comment says: " Note, however, that this is completely inconsistent across platforms" and it is irrelevant for platforms like Android (and perhaps different in JavaScript), so maybe it is the reason for this change.
