title: X11 forwarding affects Java Swing GUI dropdowns - Items not selectable, Menus collapse immediately
body: <p>Have a Java Swing app that is running on a Linux server and is being X displayed back via X11 forwarding. Cygwin is running on my workstation. Connection is made to the server using PuTTY with X11 forwarding and then ssh -XY .</p>
  
  <p>Application launches just fine, but certain GUI elements (mostly drop down menus) do not behave correctly. Some menus close immediately after they are opened (the blink open/close when clicked.) Others will not select / highlight items using the mouse. Others will select different items than the one hovered over by my house.</p>
  
  <p>The application works just fine on Windows or on Linux when invoked directed. Problem seems specifically related to viewing it through X11. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible X11 is swallowing some GUI events or not repainting fast enough?</p>
