I thought of removing every MouseEnter or MouseHover event by removing listeners attached to those events for the browser object but I have stumbled upon a very weird thing in SWT: There is no getListeners method for a Control/Widget. I googled it and found out that only from 3.4M Eclipse thought of adding this method. The only mechanism orientated in this direction I found is the ListenerList class which is for handling listeners but that implies that you subclass every control you need to have the getListeners method which is very lame. I can not imagine how SWT lived so far without such a basic functionality. I know it is not very commonly required to remove a listener, but I for one used it a couple of times. Anyway, does anyone have a solution for this or is it just the wrong approach? P.S.: Keep in mind that I am experiencing this anomaly only in Fedora 9, from what I see.
