Inconsistent mouse enter/exit notification based on LayoutManager

    Description


      To avoid breaking the 1.0.2 event behavior on a Component, I wrap that
      component in a 1.1 Panel and add a listener to the Panel. I get inconsistent
      results based on the layout manager that is used. I am most interested in
      getting valid enter/exit notification on null layout.

      I have created a test application to show the problem. To use:
      - save program as main.java
      % javac main.java
      % java main <layout manager>
        - <layout manager> is border, grid, flow, or null
      Move the mouse into and out of the "Enter/Exit" button, notice the correct
      behavior for border and grid layouts and the inconsistent behavior for
      flow and null layout.

      I am unable to obtain enter/exit notification on components using the 1.0.2
      Event model in my 1.1 tool without a fix to this bug. I believe that I can
      add a mouse listener directly to the 1.0.2 Component and get proper enter/exit
      notification, but this breaks the 1.0.2 event behavior permanently. I have
      filed a bug report on this problem as well (4025729).
