The code below illustrates the problem. Take any two
components and add a mouselistener for enter and
exit events for each component. Place the components
in a container such that they are adjoining.
As the mouse exits component A and enters component
B, the mouse entered event for component B gives the
coordinate at which the mouse exited for component
A.

NB. this is a serious problem in drawing applications.

Here is some code:
/*
 * This applet demonstrates a bug with the mouse entered event.
 * Two panels are placed side by side. When the mouse moves across the
 * border between the panels, a mouse exit event is generated and then
 * an entered event.
 * Note that the coordinate for both is the same - the coordinate for
 * the mouse entered event should be the point at which the mouse
 * entered the panel, not the point at which the mouse exited the
 * adjoining panel.
