Try to add a MouseListener to the JTabbedPane. I am not sure but I was
facing the same problem as I found out that this solved my problem, I
think. As only Component (which could responds to MouseEvent on its
own) could be added to the JTabbedPane, the only thing that responds
to MouseEvent in the JTabbedPane is finally the title panel. Regards,
