Description Chris Lee CLA 2005-12-07 18:36:29 EST 
I can reliably reproduce this NPE with both the logic and shapes example:

1. Begin dragging any object on the canvas
2. While the left mouse button is held down (dragging), press and release the right mouse button (brings up the context menu).
3. Let go of the left mouse button and move the mouse to the palette.  Select a palette item.  NullPointerException occurs.

The fix I made was to no longer call unlockTargetEditPart(). Instead, the targetlock flag is reset by extending resetFlags().

Sound OK?
