Hi,

Problem occurs on:
SunOS 5.5 with JDK 1.1.8 (and reportedly Sun Solaris with 1.2,
                          according to Dan Indrigo)
Compaq's Tru64 UNIX (formerly DIGITAL UNIX) JDK 1.1.7B, 1.1.8
Compaq's OpenVMS with JDK 1.1.8

As far as Priority, Severity Impact, Severity Functionality,
it is not clear what your numbers map to.

Problem Description:
The customer has an application that uses a 'List' box to display a list of things. When the list is long, the NT version shows a vertical scroll bar to access the items of the list not in view. But on OpenVMS, Compaq's Tru64 UNIX and Sun Solaris, the list shows up as a long and continuous list and does not have any vertical scrollbars. Because of this, there is no way that one can access the items not in view.

Java source code to reproduce problem:
