I tried the following code with
1. JDK 1.1.5
2. JDK 1.1.8
3. JDK 1.2

It displays a frame with two labels and one buttons.
Start program with
java SetSizeBug 200 200
which should set the size of the frame to 200x200.

When the menubar is not there, it works fine.
Now with the menubar, when the Frame shows, press the button.#
This will then display the actual size of the frame, which is now ...
200x219 -- 19 Pixels to much.

Source Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class SetSizeBug extends Frame{
	public SetSizeBug(int width, int height){
		super("SetSizeBug");
		super.setSize(width, height);

		MenuBar menubar = new MenuBar();
		Menu menu = new Menu("Connection");

		menubar.add(menu);
		setMenuBar(menubar);

		setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));

		add(new Label("Size should be (" + width + ", " + height + ")."));

		final Label b;
		add(b = new Label("Size is (" + getSize().width + ", " + getSize().height + ")."));

		final Button dob = new Button("do");
		dob.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
				Dimension d = SetSizeBug.this.getSize();
				b.setText("Size is (" + d.width + ", " + d.height + ").");
			}
		});
				
		add(dob);
	}

	public static void main(String argv[]){
		SetSizeBug bug = new SetSizeBug(Integer.parseInt(argv[0]), Integer.parseInt(argv[1]));
		bug.setVisible(true);
	}
}

On windows, account for the menu bar when adjusting the frame to the correct size.

Confirmed to still exist in 1.3.  This is a win32-only bug.
