Re: Losing controlListeners when display is rebuilt

Not a bug, just the way it works. The DisplayImpl.clearMaps()

Then this works differently than the other unique controls in a
Display. I mispoke in my previous message.  ProjectionControl
does act differently from GraphicsModeControl and RendererControl.
If I add ControlListeners to these two controls, when I rebuild
the display I do not lose my listeners, as I would expect should
happen since these controls are only created once and nothing
in clearMaps removes ControlListeners (other than the DisplayMonitor)
from a control.  So, clearMaps does not really "clear up everything".
That being the case, I would think that
either ProjectionControl should not remove it's listeners, or
that GraphicsModeControl and RendererControl should for
consistency.  Since they are unique controls, I think
ProjectionControl should retain it's listeners.  The only thing
that should clear out all listeners for a control is calling
Control.nullControl() and the only thing that does this is
ScalarMap.  Since ProjectionControl is not related to any
ScalarMap (i.e. it's not gotten by ScalarMap.getControl()),
I don't see why its listeners are cleared or stop working
upon a rebuild.

It is good to have a method to clear everything up, as long
as it actually does that.  Since GraphicsModeControl and
RendererControl don't get cleared up, then I'd maintain that
there is a bug in there somewhere.

So in addition to a ControlListener, I have to add a DisplayListener
to listen for MAPS_CLEARED and then guess which ones got added
back and which ones didn't?

I've attached a modified version of PCTest that shows the
inconsistent behavior between these unique controls.
