[OpenLayers-Dev] Event trapping by dragging... on Boxes...

[Huey Brantley]

I may be wrong but I think he is seeing the same issue and me.  I have
a vector layer (GML) on top of my map. The vector layer has a
selectFeature control attached to it.  If you click and hold, intended
to pan, while over the polygon, it won't pan.  Also, if hover is
activated and a popup is drawn, clicking triggers a error in FireBug.
