Dondi:

If there is any heavyweight object "in the way", you won't see the
drop down.  For example, if the drop down window would "touch" a
heavyweight item somewhere else, it will get clipped.  The white-paper
on heavyweight v. lightweight on the Javasoft site covers this (see
reference in the hintsandtips.txt file).
