MenuItem doesn't show

Question

Hi!
I got a little problem that I never has seen before. I have a MenuBar with two menus and one MenuItem in each Menu. The problem is when I click a Menu the MenuItems seems to hide behind everything that inside the JFrame since when removed (what's inside the JFrame) I can see the MenuItems.
What can I have done? I have never seen this before.
Thanks in advance

Hi again!
Here comes a part of the sourcecode where I build my JMenuBar and add it to a JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("A Frame");
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JMenuBar mbar = new JMenuBar();
JMenuItem exitI = new JMenuItem("Exit");
JMenuItem optionsI = new JMenuItem("Options");
JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
file.add(exitI);
JMenu options = new JMenu("Options");
options.add(optionsI);
mbar.add(file);
mbar.add(options);
frame.setJMenuBar(mbar);
Panel p = new Panel();
p.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,3));
Label l = new Label("Name");
p.add(l);
l = new Label("City");
p.add(l);
// An invisible placeholder
l = new Label("");
p.add(l);
final JTextField name = new JTextField(30);
p.add(name);
final JTextField city = new JTextField(30);
p.add(city);
JButton searchButton = new JButton("Search");
// two more panels for center and south. Basically the same way.
