When mixing JMenu with TextArea in swing-0.7, when the menu is pulled down, it hides behind the TextArea place below it. This did not occur with swing-0.6.1. Its occurs on Solaris with both JDK1.1.5 and JDK1.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
0) Compile and Launch the code below.
1) Pull down the File menu.
RESULT: The bottom portion of the menu is hiding behind the TextArea below it. It should be completely viewable in front of the TextArea.

The code below is from the Swing Tutorial examples.
