Interestingly enough, the bug database does list this problem. Not only that, it also claims that the problem was fixed in 1.3. But there are a lot of people who say otherwise.

[...] Does anybody know how it >is that a JComboBox comes to be used by showInputDialog? The combo box is created by a UI class (javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicOptionPaneUI) in the most inflexible manner one could possibly think of. Basically, whatever genius implemented the class (I swear, at times I think that the bulk of the core classes were written by summer interns) didn't provide a factory method for component creation, so there is no way to override this behavior. The only other idea I have is to override JOptionPane itself and muddle with setBounds.
