Mouselisteners are used for many things in reporting, and they're causing some
problems. There are times when we don't hear the change we're actually after--
e.g. there are currently ways for the user to make changes to text in the
layout that will never make it into the report instance -- e.g. start typing
some text in a report item, move your mouse up to the execute button, type some
more, then click execute. The text you typed after moving your mouse away from
that item won't be in your report instance. Also many things occur far more
often than is necessary, e.g. if you simply move your pointer over a report
item many methods are invoked repeatedly, some changing the model. This is
wasteful and makes it hard to differentiate actual changes to the report
layout.
