Anybody come up with a workaround for the lack of responsiveness of
JButtons?  When they are clicked, sometimes the don't trigger the
ActionListener sometimes.  I suspect that it has something to do with mouse
movement between the mouse press and mouse release.
With a native Windows button you can mouse down on the button, move the
cursor anywhere, return the mouse to any position on the button, mouse up,
and it triggered a click event.
With Swing, it seems that if you move the mouse just one pixel between mouse
press and release, the ActionListener will not be triggered.
I imagine Swing is trying to translate this as a drag-and-drop, but it
really shouldn't (at least in Windows L&F).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason
