A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation for MouseEvent explains that MOUSE_DRAGGED events are delivered to the component in which the mouse button was pressed. It fails to explain the similar behavior of MOUSE_RELEASED and MOUSE_CLICKED events.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It should explain that the MOUSE_RELEASED and MOUSE_CLICKED events are delivered to the component in which the mouse button was pressed, just as for MOUSE_DRAGGED.
ACTUAL -
No explanation is given.
