FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
For swing fields, e.g., JTextField, JCheckBox,
getToolTipLocation lets the user choose where the tooltip is
displayed. This does not seem to work with JComboBox.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. compile and run source below
2.
3.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expected the tooltip to be above the combobox just the
text field. It was not.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

      JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(new String[] {"ABC", "DEF"}) {

            System.out.println("Combo tool tip");
            // Move tool tip to above field
            return new Point(getWidth()/2, -10);
