GlassPane - differnce between JDK 5 and JDK 6
I have used a glass pane (via getGlassPane and setGlassPane) for years using JDKs 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and recently 1.5. I use this in my UI to get the coordinates of various components so the user can click on it and get help information about what that field, etc. These fields (checkboxes, textfields, etc.) are on JInternalFrames with either a JPanel or a JTabbedPane. All this worked fine until I switched to JDK 1.6. In the past, if I left clicked on a field, it would activate the field and get the coordinates of the field so I could display help for it. If I right clicked, the field would not be activated (e.g., the check box would not be toggled), but the help would be displayed. If I clicked on the tabs, the selected tab would be displayed. Now, with JDK 1.6, I get the help displayed, but no fields are activated and when I click on a tab, nothing happens. I have not been able to find out what changed between 1.5 and 1.6 to cause this. I use a MouseAdapter to capture the mouse clicks to get the coordinates of the UI component. Any ideas? Thanks.
