java-programmer, BUG in jre that work fine in jview - mouseEvent Anyone come up with an answer to this?
I'm having the same problem, I've created
a "skin" slider control in J++, when I use
Microsoft it returns coordinates relative to
the slider control, when I use Sun it's relative
to the applet, the listener class and handler is
within the slider control class.

I've found LOTS of examples online that are setup
just like my code, and they all, including Sun's
documentation (as well as Microsoft's) say it should
be relative to the control.

Thanks,
EdisonCPP
