I suspect it's a window manager problem. Which wm do you use?
I too have noticed problems that I believe to be wm problems. In my
case, using fvwm, when I start an application (extending JFrame from
Swing 1.0.2) with a menubar it is placed at position 0,0. When I click
on a menu in the menubar, the menu is displayed aligned with the top
edge of the menubar, which is also the top edge of the JFrame's
internal area, rather than being aligned with the bottom edge of the
menubar. This has unpleasant side effects when clicking on the menu
and releasing the mouse button, as this is taken as a mouse click on
whatever menu item (mostly the first one) that is displayed in the
menu at that position), rather than posting the menu below the mouse
cursor awaiting user selection. However, when I move the window
around, even back to 0,0, it works fine.
Any advice on this one, or do I just have bear it with patience?

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question and the answer is no.
