Arn:

Because you have mixed lightweight and heavyweight components.  The
window for the drop down cannot come up in front of the heavyweight
container.  Check your hintsandtips.txt file for a starting point on
heavyweight v. lightweight.  There's a reference to an excellent article
on the Javasoft site there, too.
