This happens, because the popup is created as a lightweight component and lightweight components cannot be drawn outside of their parent window's client area. When the list is long enough, the combo box code properly realizes that and creates a heavyweight popup instead. My guess is that there is a bug in JComboBox's code responsible for deciding when to create a heavy-weight popup. A work around would be to force the component always to use the heavyweight popup by setting the lightWeightPopupEnabled property to false.
Check the Sun's bug database and if this issue is not already addressed there, please file a bug report.
