I don't know if this is a jdk-freebsd bug or a swingbug (I > haven't seen it then i tried it on a solaris machine). You've hit the problem on the head! However, here's the weird part. If I use fvwm95 as my Window Manager (it's my default), the menu-drop-list is positioned *ABOVE* the menubar-entry; thus causing the problem above. If I switch to twm, it positions itself below the menubar-entry (as I'd expect it to), and everything works ok. Whoa. I wouldn't have expected the Window Manager to have such an effect on the menu-list positioning! --- Jonathan Chen | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.
