I have a simple class that draws a line when mouse dragging or a dot when mouse pressing(releasing).

When I minimize the application and then restore it, the content of the window disappears except the last dot (pixel). I understand that the method super.paint(g) repaints the background every time the window changes, but the result seems to be the same whether I use it or not. The difference between the two of them is that when I don't use it there's more than a pixel painted on the window, but not all my painting. How can I fix this?

Here is the class.

package painting;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionAdapter;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

class CustomCanvas extends Canvas{   
    Point oldLocation= new Point(10, 10);
    Point location= new Point(10, 10);
    Dimension dimension = new Dimension(2, 2);     
    CustomCanvas(Dimension dimension){  
        this.dimension = dimension;   
        this.init();
        addListeners();
    }    
    private void init(){                     
        oldLocation= new Point(0, 0);
        location= new Point(0, 0);
    }
    public void paintLine(){
        if ((location.x!=oldLocation.x) || (location.y!=oldLocation.y)) {         
            repaint(location.x,location.y,1,1);                                   
        } 
    }
    private void addListeners(){
        addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
            @Override
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){                   
                oldLocation = location;
                location = new Point(me.getX(), me.getY());
                paintLine();
            }
            @Override
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){                
                oldLocation = location;
                location = new Point(me.getX(), me.getY());
                paintLine();
            }
        });
        addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me){                
                oldLocation = location;
                location = new Point(me.getX(), me.getY());
                paintLine();
            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g){  
        super.paint(g);
        g.setColor(Color.red);       
        g.drawLine(location.x, location.y, oldLocation.x, oldLocation.y);                
    }
    @Override
    public Dimension getMinimumSize() {
        return dimension; 
    }
    @Override
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        return dimension;
    }

}
class CustomFrame extends JPanel {
    JPanel displayPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
    CustomCanvas canvas = new CustomCanvas(new Dimension(200, 200));        
    public CustomFrame(String titlu) {            
        canvas.setBackground(Color.white);
        displayPanel.add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER);            
        this.add(displayPanel);
    }   
}
public class CustomCanvasFrame {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        CustomFrame panel = new CustomFrame("Test Paint");
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.add(panel);
        f.pack();
        SwingConsole.run(f, 700, 700);
    }
}
