JPanel with screwy dimensions and coordinates

[MigrantFirmWorker]

I have a JPanel placed in a JTableHeader into which I intend to add other components. While attempting to determine mouse click locations in this panel I found that the x/y coordinates are negative (for the JPanel rectangle) and the height/width are 0/0.

The JPanel displays as I expect and certainly has nonzero dimensions. It is my intent to use getDeepestComponentAt() once I add the subcomponents but I need to derive the correct location for the "At". What am I missing?

I suggest that you post some source code that can be compiled and run.
