The AWT's MenuBar doesn't display all of its Menu correctly on Windows.
As demonstrated in the following program which should display:

_____________________________________________________________
| one | two | three | Help2 | four | |
|_____|_____|_______|_______|______|________________________|


On Windows the MenuBar running jdk1.3versionO shows :

_____________________________________________________________
| one | two | three | | | | |
|_____|_____|_______|_______|______|______|_________________|

Sliding the mouse over the 1st blank spot and click I got the
cascaded submenu of the Help2. On the 2nd blank spot I got
the Help2 menu and on the 3rd I got the four menu.

Running with jdk1.2fcs shows :

_____________________________________________________________
| one | two | three | | Help2 | four | |
|_____|_____|_______|_______|_______|______|________________|

The result here is a little better but like the previous run
the most confusing thing is clicking on the first blank spot
I got the cascaded submenu of the Help2 menu which can be
very confusing user interface.

return m;
