Question about drop down lists from JComboBox within an applet

When I click on the down arrow of a standard JComboBox in an applet and the list of strings are displayed, if I then drag the browser window, the drop down list stays in the same place instead of either being closed or moving with the browser window. I started noticing this when I started using Java 7, but I think this also occurs with Java 6 and 5. When run within the applet viewer in Eclipse, moving the applet window there closes the drop-down during the process of moving the window. Anybody else noticing this ? If so are any suggestions for a possible solution. Ideally I'd want the list to move with the browser window without the drop-down closing.

My example code that demonstrates the problem is as follows:

import javax.swing.JApplet; import javax.swing.JComboBox; public class ComboApplet extends JApplet { public void init () { String [] testStrings = new String [] {"This", "is", "a", "test"}; JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox(testStrings); add(comboBox); } } </div> </div> <div class="card rel"><h2 style="font-size:17px;margin-top:0">More Swing / AWT / SWT fixes</h2> <a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/how-to-get-date-from-jdatechooser-into-the-textfield-49475">How to get date from JDateChooser into the textfield</a><a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/dialog-focus-problem-on-java-7-and-mac-osx-45626">Dialog focus problem on java 7 and mac osx</a><a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/minimize-and-maximize-button-in-jdialog-49385">Minimize and Maximize button in JDialog</a><a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/java-lang-classcastexception-javax-swing-keystroke-cannot-be-cast-to-java-lang-comparable-49906">java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.KeyStroke cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable</a><a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/tree-setselectionpath-not-working-45279">tree.setSelectionPath not working</a><a href="https://www.solveerrors.com/forums/24/swing-awt-swt/jdialog-netbeans-runtime-48157">JDialog Netbeans Runtime</a> </div> </div></body></html>
