Well the good news is that this is a known bug and the even better news is
that it has been fixed. You want to go grab the newest version of swing
1.0.2 it has a great number of fixes including the jmenus. you may also
want to check out the bug parade at java.sun.com they have a well indexed
search of all bug reports and after you register your self you can mark
bug reports you want to track and you can be bnotified when their status
changes.
Hope this helps,
Brad
