I am using Java 1.3.1 on a Linux System.

I have spent mucho time getting the JPopupMenu.show to work the way I
require.

My End User enters an equal sign in the Forms JTextField that triggers an
Event that uses JPopuMenu to present a set of 4 Menu's that shall fetch a
Text String to be placed in the associated JTextField.

For the first 3 Menu Selections I use (0,0) to place the menu in the upper
left hand corner of my invoker [JPanel]. This is fine because the Menu Items
are sometimes long,

For the final JPopupMenu I am required to display it under the Forms
invoking JTextField. I spent considerable time getting the required (x,y)
coordinates to use in the JPopupMenu.show Method. This works fine as long as
the selected JTextField is within the first page of my scrollable form.

However, when I test a JTextField in the lower portion of a Scrollable
invoker [JPanel] the 4th JPopupMenu appears anywhere it wants to and most of
the time it is unseen or disappears when I move the mouse toward it. Very
flaky!

If I use the (0,,0) parameters for this 4th Menu it works fine but would not
be as user friendly IMHO.

About the Scrollable Panel:

It is a JPanel Instance and I use the 'JPanel.setPreferredSize' and
JPanel.scrollRectToVisible' methods to manage the Scrollable Panel. It works
fine except for the above problem.

Questions:

 1.. Is there a know problem with this Class and if so does SDK 1.4.1 fix
it.
 2.. Any suggestion on what else I should try. I have used println
statements to verify that the (x,y) coordinates are OK.
Regards,

Jim.
