JTextArea problem: mouseClicked event irregular

Question

My application allows user to add several CalcArea objects (a subclass of JPanel) in a big JPanel. Highlight of ClassArea class is given below.
Strangely, I find that once in a while, mouseClicked event is not fired. It is very critical for my user to select a particular CalcArea and modify/update the currently selected CalcArea. It is very much annoying to find that the mouseClicked event occurs irregularly. Please advise me how I can make sure mouseClicked event occurs when user clicks on the desired CalcArea. Thanks.

public class CalcArea extends JPanel implements MouseListener, FocusListener
   JTextArea ta;
   DrawPanel dp; //subclass of JPanel
   static int iCount=0;
   static int selectedMemberID=-1;
   int memberID;     //unique ID (0-based)
   //constructor
   public CalcArea(String strID....)
   }  //constructor ends
   public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
   } //method mousePressed ends
   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)  //***Problem here
     selectedMemberID= memberID;
     System.out.print("mseClicked***");
   public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
   public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
   public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}

Is there any way to solve it? I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish, but maybe somthing like the following will help:
e.getComponent().getGraphics();
e.getComponent().getParent().getGraphics();
