Timothy:

The window that drops down falls behind the heavyweight items because it
is lightweight (check your 2.0 hintsandtips.txt file for the beginning
of the whole lightweight v. heavyweight issue; it's important in JFC). 
The way to fix this is to not mix and match lightweight and heavyweight
components.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
