If there are no nodes selected in a graph and the GraphWidget is scrolled, the user will then be unable to select a node. The condition can be reset by clicking off the graph to unselect all nodes.

This occurs because GraphWidget.DragSupport#mousePressed() checks if the selectedItems list contains the item under the mouse and returns if it does. This is to presumably to prevent repeated selection of the same node. However, the RotateGestureListener#gesture() method obtains the selection list (using GraphWidget#getSelection()) and adds all the nodes if the selection is currently empty. This occurs if the widget is scrolled.

The only way I see to get around this problem is to disable gestures when creating a GraphWidget.

This bug seems to refer to the old Zest2 code base. Resolving as WONTFIX, as this code-base is no longer provided.
