1.1.4G regression: MOUSE_PRESSED events now result in undesired requestFocus()

Name: sg39081 Date: 08/19/97


In JDK 1.1.4G -
For some reason, Component.dispatchEventImpl now contains the
following lines of code:
case MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED:
  requestFocus();
  break;
Before, this code was commented out (and the commented-out code
first checked isFocusNavigable())
I've got no idea why anyone would add this code, and I wish
they hadn't - it causes massive problems with many of our
lightweight components. Even components that never want to
take focus are now taking the focus when clicked on.
This is a massive 100% showstopper.
