POMouseListener for JPanel missing mouseClicked events
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a JPanel that I have created a MouseListener for and I am seeing some behavior that I can't explain. </p> <p>Usually when I click the mouse within the JPanel, I see the following events fire:</p> <pre><code>mousePressed mouseReleased mouseClicked </code></pre> <p>On some occasions, I don't see the mouseClicked event fire, I only see:</p> <pre><code>mousePressed mouseReleased </code></pre> <p>I don't think I'm doing anything out of the ordinary when I click these times. Could anyone explain why I might not be seeing the mouseClicked event?</p> <p>I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I do have an animation running in the panel using a javax.swing.Timer.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> adding test code that replicates problem. I'm not sure, but I wonder if my mouse has anything to do with it. I have one of those super sensitive gaming mice (from my old COD4 days).</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; import java.awt.event.MouseListener; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { final Test test = new Test(); javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { test.createAndShowGUI(); } }); } protected void createAndShowGUI() { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1024, 768)); frame.setTitle("Test"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.setBackground(Color.WHITE); panel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() { @Override public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println(":MOUSE_RELEASED_EVENT:"); } @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println("----------------------------------\n:MOUSE_PRESSED_EVENT:"); } @Override public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println(":MOUSE_EXITED_EVENT:"); } @Override public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println(":MOUSE_ENTER_EVENT:"); } @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println(":MOUSE_CLICK_EVENT:"); } }); frame.add(panel); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); } } </code></pre>
