Description Berthold Daum CLA 2011-06-06 02:47:32 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

The method findObjectAtExcluding() in interface GraphicalViewer asks for EditParts in parameter exclusionSet but the implementation in GraphicalViewerImpl checks for IFigures. So, nothing is excluded.
This affects derived methods such as AbstractTransferDrop#getExclusiongSet() as well. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Code analysis
2.
3.

Yes, that's a known issue. I have already discussed on how to proceed with this in bug #338587. We should re-investigate it there for 3.8.
