A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Our app is a JFrame with a JMenuBar added.
The action listener of the menu items opens modal dialogs.
The menu does not work properly if we try to open a dialog the second time.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
do the following with the mouse:
* open dialog using the menu entry (first time behaves properly!)
* close dialog
* click on the JMenu
* move the mouse down (try open the dialog)

Mouse pointer must not leave main frame between this steps.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
want to use menu popup

ACTUAL -
the menu popup vanish

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
