JSlider and mouse click not working

Question

I am using a JSlider class so the user can choose a population size. I'm showing the slider with a scale from 0-100.
When I move the slider button with my mouse the value changes. However, when I click anywhere else on the slider, nothing happens. It should be moving to the next minor tick. Here is my code snippet:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
(here's the construction of the slider)
private JSlider m_popSizeSlider = new JSlider(0,100,20);
m_popSizeSlider.addChangeListener(new SizeSliderHandler());
// now handle the size slider
m_popSizeSlider.setPaintTicks(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setPaintLabels(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setSnapToTicks(true);
m_popSizeSlider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
m_popSizeSlider.setMinorTickSpacing(5);
comboPanel.add(new Label("Size of Population: "));
comboPanel.add(m_popSizeSlider);
(here's the change listener code - defined as an inner class)
class SizeSliderHandler implements ChangeListener
* <p> This method is called when the user clicks on the size slider
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
JSlider s = (JSlider) e.getSource();
m_popSize = (int) s.getValue();
//System.out.println(m_popSize);
so what am I doing wrong?
thanks
