Sub-menus added to a Popup Menu are not shown at the proper location. When clicking a Sub-menu in a popup menu, the menu items added to the sub-menu are shown much away from the popup menu and none of those menuitems are clickable using mouse. This looks pretty ugly and sub-menus are not all usable. This is reproducible only on the following PIT build, on solaris / linux with XToolkit. 

java version "awt.pit-awt-blade-2005-02-22-Tue-int.mustang"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build awt.pit-awt-blade-2005-02-22-Tue-int.mustang)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b24, mixed mode)

Not reproducible with Win32. Not reproducible on Mustang-b25. 

I have attached a sample test. Execute it on Solaris / Linux (XToolkit is the default toolkit now on unix platforms). You will see a textarea. Right click inside the text area. A popup menu would appear. Click on any of the menus available on the popup menu. Click on any of the sub-menus. If you see menuitems being shown much away from the actual menu clicked, then the bug is reproduced. Also try clicking those menuitems. If you don't see any message on the console, then no action event is triggered.

This is a PIT failure and the basic popupmenu feature is broken on XToolkit. XToolkit is the default toolkit now on unix platforms and hence this bug makes the popupmenu unusable on linux and solaris.

EVALUATION Notice that sub-menus of third level are broken, all other work fine. Thid-level sub-menus are used very rarely in applications. ###@###.### 2005-2-28 15:06:16 GMT The problem seems to be in XMenuPeer.java, getAbsoluteX method. It was added to fix some positioning problem in menus during the fix for 6215419. At that time, menus were behaving very strange - its coordinates were being changed between its states from relative to absolute, and it was causing problems to the calls toGlobal/toLocal inside of menu showing code. As the result, menus of all levels were being shown at wrong coordinates. However, the source of the problem wasn't not identified correctly at that time, and it has been already fixed. Removal of getAbsoluteX method from XMenuPeer fixes this bug. ###@###.### 2005-2-28 15:10:01 GMT
