How to capture mouseReleased event for a MouseMotionListener [message #116800]

I have an object that implements both MouseListener and
MouseMotionListener. In the mouseDragged method I set a variable that is
checked in the mousedReleased method. But the mouseReleased method
doesn't get called. It seems that the MouseMotion captures the mouse.
How can I determine when the button has been released.

I've tried testing my variable in the mouseHover method, but this isn't
acceptable because of the delay in hover, and because it gets trigggered
even if the button is not released.

TIA,
Dave Derry

Currently you must call MouseEvent.consume() to indicate that you want to
capture mouse events on mouse down.
