I am also having trouble with JComboBox not dropping down. I got it to work
in a JDialog(SWING). I also got it to work in a groupBox(JBCL-SWING) on a
beanPanel(JBCL-SWING) that sits on a decoratedFrame(JBCL-AWT) within a
tabSetPanel(JBCL-SWING). But another JCombBox in the SAME groupBox does not
drop down!! Seems that this is not a case heavy and lightweight since one
works and the other does not.  I do notice that there is a faint flashing
going on as though a ghost of the drop down is there for a microsecond. I
can arrow key and see the item change- so I know the list is in there. Any
ideas?
