FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux MyLaptop 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With jre 1.5.0, when the bottom border of the frame is fairly close to the bottom of the screen, then the choice box appear to hit the bottom of the screen, and cancels the choice selection. If you make the frames' height smaller, then choice appears to work as advertised.

The problem is that if you click on the choice component, the component selections appears, and immedeaitely disappears,before you get an opportunity to make a selection.

This did not happen in 1.4.2.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The choice box should display properly.

ACTUAL -
The choice box flickers on and off.

Test Case:
