FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.7.0_11-b21

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64. 

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Buttons on Linux do not release their 'pressed' state if the mouse button is released away from the button after using the mouse wheel. 

From monitoring events, it seems that on Linux if you use the scroll wheel while the mouse is pressed then the mouse released event is sent to the component the mouse is over rather than the component it was pressed on.  On Windows the event goes to the component the mouse was pressed on. 

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Note that these reproduction steps require that user monitors the console as this application prints via System.out.println. 

1. Compile and run the simple UI attached. 
2. Click on the 'JButton' and hold the left mouse button down, note that the application printed via System.out.println 'Currently pressed' per an override in the button UI. 
3. Drag the mouse over another part of the UI, making sure to leave the button region. 
4. Use the mouse wheel 
5. Release the left mouse button
6. Notice the application never prints 'not pressed' as it would had you not used the mouse wheel in step #4. 

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Button releases, as it does on other platforms.
ACTUAL -
Button stays pressed

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
