Hi,
The offset menu problem has been fixed in v4a (and v3). If you are still
seeing it with v4a, please let me know what window manager you are using.
Juergen Kreileder, one of the Blackdown porters, has done lots of testing
on this issue (and other awt related issues with window managers) and here
is what he posted to the porting list recently:

Are you by any chance using WindowMaker? Please let me know which window
manager shows the offset menu problem, and we will try to fix it in our
next release.
The sheer number of window managers and the fact that they are all not of
equal quality or perform ops in the same way, results in lots of problems
under awt.
