[I'm forwarding this for another developer here. Any help is greatly
appreciated. -John]

I am working on a port of an IDE from Windows NT to Linux.  This IDE
uses popup menus, and since switching to the latest Blackdown VM I
have been having some troubles.  I have a panel that uses a popup
window.  With the Sun VM it works as desired, with the Blackdown VM
I can never get focus on the popup menu.  (I have attached an
example).

I am using enlightenment, but I have tried it with twm and seen the
same behavior.  I have also tried changing all the settings for the
way in which popup menus get keyboard focus.  I have a work around
which is to store the mouse event and show the popup menu on the
mouse released event.

One other strange phenomenon, is that the popup menus work correctly
if there is a window (that is not the terminal launching the Java
program) that is in front of the Java frame and is obscuring at
least part of the title bar.

Has anyone seen this behavior, and does anyone have any idea if this
is a bug or just something specific to this VM?
