Hi,

I got a call from a tester who had problems finding a JComboBox on a 
screen. He knew where it is located (usually) so he could click in the 
black dot that showed and could then see the options.

What could have caused this to happen and what can I do to prevent this 
and similar display "issues" in the future? Can this be caused by the 
display setting for the computer. (WinXP)

Why only this box? I have other boxes that showed proper.

Magnus

JComboBox comPortComboBox = new JComboBox();

for (int i = 0; i < comPortList.length; i++)
     comPortComboBox.addItem(comPortList[i]);

panel1.add(comPortComboBox, new GridBagConstraints(1, 1, 1, 1, 1.0, 0.0
       , GridBagConstraints.CENTER, GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL,
       new Insets(28, 8, 0, 30), 14, -1));

panel3.add(testComboBox,  new GridBagConstraints(2, 2, 1, 1, 1.0, 0.0
       ,GridBagConstraints.CENTER, GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL,
       new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0), 25, -1));
