Hi,
In the past I have had reasons for adding JButton (and JCheckBox)
instances to a JMenu's popup. This has worked successfully prior to
5.0. Now with 5.0 it seems the buttons and checkboxes get stuck when
clicked, with no indication of what went wrong. They get stuck before
their action listeners are even called. Does anyone have an idea why
this might be happening? Below is some basic test code to demonstrate
the problem (demo code only!). Notice how the buttons in the JPopupMenu
work fine, but the buttons in the JMenu get stuck.

thanks
