JTabbedPane+Panel stealing focus
Hi all,
I have a question about JTabbedPanes being used with JPanel. I have a JTabbedPane with 2 tabs, both tabs have 1 JPanel in each tab. The first tab has a JPanel using Flow Layout, the Second Tab has a panel using GridBag layout. While on the first tab, click on the little box in the upper left and it will drop down that menu that will show you "restore", "minimize", "maximize", and "close". Now go to the second tap and click the box again and you will notice that the menu drops down behind the Panel, but not behind the JTabbedPane. The menu isn't really a big deal but, I have a bunch of tool tips on all the Radios/Boxes/ and Fields and all the tool tips are also being displayed behind the Panel. Also, when you switch back to tab 1 the menu still works fine, so its solely with tab 2, is it the Grid Bag constraints?
Thanks a ton, heres the code...

Sorry it's a little long. I'm not an excellent programmer by any means, so any helpful advice about formatting, or standards/guidelines that I've failed to comply with will be well taken :)

P.S. Some of the code has been altered slightly so clicking buttons doesn't really perform anything but enable/disable other buttons.
