Whenever I select a cell that contains a ComboBoxCellEditor, the drop-down shell created within the NatCombo initially gets set to the wrong bounds location (somewhere towards the top-left position of the NatTable). Immediately after it opens at the wrong location, the drop-down shell's bounds are then adjusted to the correct location.

The correct location is set when the text control listener is notified.

text.addControlListener(new ControlListener() {
	@Override
	public void controlResized(ControlEvent e) {
		calculateBounds();
	}
		
	@Override
	public void controlMoved(ControlEvent e) {
		calculateBounds();
	}
});

I'm not seeing this erratic behavior in any of the examples, so it makes me wonder if it has to do with the glazed list. text.toDisplay(text.getLocation()); within the calculateBounds seems to calculate the text at being in the wrong location initially. The location gets corrected so fast that it only flickers. Perhaps maybe because it hasn't been given focus.

Anyone else experience this?
