Question:
If I have a parent Container containing a Component and I initialise a drag from the parent Container and then drag the mouse over the contained Component, the contained Component starts capturing the mouse drag events.
Is this correct behaviour?

Answer:
This is not the behaviour usually expected. The normal behaviour is for mouse drag events to be delivered to the component in which the drag originated. This latter behaviour has been implemented in Quartz/Crystal 6.0 Java.
