Bug #60968 for Tk-JBrowseEntry: tk using multiple monitors with dropdownmenus

Hi Stefan,      I don't have a dual-monitor setup, but i have seen this happen sometimes & seems like i did something to keep it from happening as much - something a/b calculating the posn of the popup relative to the widget locn, but don't remember.  What happens if you substitute Tk's regular BrowseEntry widget instead?  There are several annoyances in Perl/Tk and i don't think any of them will ever get fixed, since it's author Nick Ing Simmons is deceased (God rest his soul).  Let me know if BrowseEntry works ok, then if i can figure out what's wrong w/JBrowseEntry, i'll see if i can fix it.
