Java popup irritation

I have a JPopupMenu that I created and then displayed using setLocation and setVisible. However, I just upgraded to the latest version of the JRE and now a popup menu appears, but it doesn't work and doesn't disappear when I click away...

I changed the code to use the show method to display the popup and now it works, but now the focus handling isn't so good. i.e. Now if I want to leave the popup and click on a button somewhere else, I have to click twice: once to remove focus from the popup and again to actually click the button...

What is happening? Have they stuffed something up or have I?

And I tried on two computers, so the problem was definitely created by the change to the latest version of Java (6, update 16).

Difficult to say without seeing what your code looked like.

Ok right. Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to do:

Code:

---

JList myList = new JList;
JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu();
popup.add("a menu item");

popup.show(myList, myXCoordinate, myYCoordinate);

---

Is that enough detail?

Anyone have the same problem? Try making a JPopupMenu and then displaying it using setVisible. Make sure you have the latest JDK and JRE installed.
