Subject: Bug in JComboBox?
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 22:37:33 -0500

Hello,

I have noticed strange behaviour of JComboBox (either in my tests or in
SwingSet example). Its popup list stays up even when JComboBox looses
focus, so it is possible to move the parent window around while popup
stays (kind of like 'tear-off' combo box :-). I tried to fix it by addi
ng focus listener and calling 'hidePopup' on 'focusLost', but then I
have to press down arrow button twice to show popup again. I played
with Windows combo box a bit, and it hides its popup window as soon as
it looses focus.

Are you aware of this, and do you plan to fix it? We need editable combo
box, so there is no AWT alternative for our very important project that
ships in less than two months. I would appreciate some dates, if
possible.
