When setting a TitledBorder as Border for a JComboBox in Windows Look and Feel
in an GridBagLayout the JComboBox disappears completely.
In Metal Look and Feel and GridBagLayout the JComboBox grows to double size.

Sample showing Windows Look And Feel as default:
(run with javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel as parameter to see Metal).

Components are arranged in getJFrameContentPane and Borders are set in
initBorder().
