Attaching tooltips to a swing object can stop mouse events from being delivered to the object.  Source code that demonstrates the problem was submitted as a follow-up to closed bug #4126295 by 'willy8' For convenience, this code is reproduced below.

java version "1.1.7A"
java full version "JDK1.1.7S"
swing version is 1.1.1 beta 1

This program reproduces the bug. Compare clicking on the green panel to the red panel.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.ToolTipManager;


public class tooltipbug extends JApplet implements MouseListener {
public void init() {
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
panel1.setBackground(Color.green);
panel2.setBackground(Color.red);
Container pane = getContentPane();
pane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
pane.add(panel1, BorderLayout.WEST);
pane.add(panel2, BorderLayout.EAST);
ToolTipManager toolTipManager = ToolTipManager.sharedInstance(); toolTipManager.registerComponent(panel2);
addMouseListener(this);
}

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.err.println("Woo, an event!");
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { }
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) { }
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) { }
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) { }
}
