awt event 1.1 mousePressed method problem

[Thanasis \(sch\)]

Hi to group,
I got a trouble with the awt applet below.
The FIRST TIME i left click and hold the mouse down (pressed) on Canvas, i
don't get the message "Pressed" as i would expect. However from the second
time and on i do get the message
Why does this happen?(the code is below)

regards
Thanasis.
