FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
ver XP

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Tried with IE6 and IE8

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a JMenuBar in a JApplet.
The menubar contains a menu, which has as submenu and a JTextfield "A".
The submenu has antoher JTextfield "B".

Running the applet in a browser with width and height set to 250, both Textfields are editable.
Running the applet in a browser with height set to "45" the textfield in the submenu ("B") is not editable.

The problem occurs with IE6 and JRE 1.6.0_12, with JRE 1.5.0_09 it doesn't.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Use the code provided below and run the applet using a height of 250 in IE

=> Works fine!

2) Use the code provided below and run the applet using a height of 45 in IE

=> One of the textfields won't get a focus the other still does

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The JTextfield should behave the same - no matter how the applet is sized.
ACTUAL -
The JTextfield won't get a Focus if the applet is too small (Whatever "too small" is)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.*;

         JMenu test=new JMenu("test1");
         JMenu test2=new JMenu("test2");
           
 // This field seems to be always editable
         JTextField tf=new JTextField("- A -");
 // This field won't be editable if the applet has not enough height in IE
         JTextField tf2=new JTextField("- B -");
            
         test2.add(tf);
         test.add(test2);
         test.add(tf2);
         JMenuBar erg=new JMenuBar();
         erg.add(test);
         return erg;
