jcombobox

I use a JComboBox with many entries (hundreds). I want to limit the size of its drop-down list to the vertical size of the screen. Using a fixed size does not work out properly for different look&feels and screen resolutions. I am using Java 6u25 on Windows 7. If I set the maximum row count to a value (e.g. 100) that exceeds the number of list items (=rows) that fit on the screen (75), the drop-down list seems to be drawn in full size but the lowest entries are never visible. Here is a screenshot for illustation (thanks for the SSCCE by @trashgod). The sceenshot was taken in a virtual machine

I have a JComboBox inside a JPanel (which itself is nested within a few other JPanels). It's populated with members of an enum. I'm running into a problem where the popup menu doesn't appear when I click the expand button. Here's the information I've gathered so far: 1) The first click on the expand button does nothing. The second click highlights the contents of the box, but the popup still doesn't appear. 2) Once I've clicked the button and given it focus, up/down keystrokes cycle through the entries correctly. 3) I've tried adding a PopupMenuListener to print out events, and the events fire
