When using CDE, if "Dtwm*positionIsFrame: False" is set in file
/usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtwm then Swing menus in the following program do
not work properly with either Java 1.2.2 or Java 1.3. The problem is
that when clicking on the menu, the list of menu items does not expand
properly. Pleasenote that the problem goes away if you either resize or
move the frame.

Here is the program:

  import javax.swing.*;

  public class SwingTarget extends JFrame
  {
    public SwingTarget() {
        setTitle("Swing Menus");
        JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
        this.setJMenuBar(mb);

        JMenu m = new JMenu("Menu 1");
        m.add(new JMenuItem("Item 1-1"));
        m.add(new JMenuItem("Item 1-2"));
        m.add(new JMenuItem("Item 1-3"));
        mb.add(m);

        JMenu m2 = new JMenu("Menu 2");
        m2.add(new JMenuItem("Item 2-1"));
        m2.add(new JMenuItem("Item 2-2"));
        m2.add(new JMenuItem("Item 2-3"));
        mb.add(m2);

        this.setBounds(100, 100, 200, 200);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        new SwingTarget();
    }
  }


A similiar program using AWT, instead of Swing, works properly.
