The following program should display a choice and 3 buttons in a flow
layout manner. However, the choice overlaps the first button making
it invisible. The 2nd button is partially overlapped by the choice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class choice {

    public static void main(String argv[] ) {
        choice t = new choice();
        t.init (argv);
    }

    String []s = { "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "unselected choices",
                        "what choices do I have?",
                        "Will I pick the same thing in the future?",
                };

    public void init ( String argv[]) {
        Frame f = new Frame("choice test");

        f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        Panel p = new Panel(new FlowLayout());

        Choice c = new Choice();
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++)
                c.addItem(s[i]);

        p.add(c);
        p.add(new Button("Button 1"));
        p.add(new Button("Button 2"));
        p.add(new Button("Button 3"));

        f.add(p);

        f.show();
        f.setSize(600, 200);

        f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
    }
}
===============================================================================
The following program should display a column of 3 buttons. However
the text string of the first button is shortened by almost a half.
The word "Make" is invisible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class grid {

    public static void main(String argv[] ) {

        grid t = new grid();
        t.init (argv);
    }

    public void init ( String argv[]) {
        Frame f = new Frame("choice test");

        f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        Panel p = new Panel(new GridLayout(3, 0));

        p.add(new Button("MakeVisible"));
        p.add(new Button("Reset to Initial State"));
        p.add(new Button("Show Status"));

        f.add(p);

        f.show();
        f.setSize(200, 150);

        f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
    }
}

All these problems disappear if I ran the programs with the jdk1.1.8 release.
Fixing this display problem would solve the many test problems that we're
currently experiencing with the release of JCK1.2.2
