When don't MOUSE_DRAGGED events have pressed mouse buttons?

[Nikita Provotorov]

Hello! I’m looking into the dispatching routine in AWT/Swing and stumbled
upon the following piece of code in
*java.awt.LightweightDispatcher#processMouseEvent*
<https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/4a9cc8a000cafb3ad77a33710054b567e8553652/src/java.desktop/share/classes/java/awt/Container.java#L4591>
:

case MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAGGED:
>     if (isMouseGrab(e)) {
>         retargetMouseEvent(met, id, e);
>     }
>     break;


In case of *MOUSE_DRAGGED* events, *isMouseGrab* basically checks if the
event has any pressed mouse buttons (in modifiers). I wonder why it has
been handled explicitly? AFAIU *MOUSE_DRAGGED* events always have some
pressed mouse buttons, otherwise that’s not possible to drag, don’t they?

Best regards,
