Hi Mircea,

Looks like this is indeed a bug, however it is hard to reproduce. I had 
to do a lot of right mouse button clicks before seeing this misbehavior 
to show up.

I will take the fix, but the patch itself heeds some additional work. 
See my comments in code below.

I don't see the point in this change.

No need to pile if on top of another if here. Just start the function with

	if (isEmpty() || !_rubberBand.isVisible())
		return;

The rest may stay unchanged.

What is the point in defining a function that does nothing but calling 
another function.

Thanks,
