Use the experimental SWT heavyweight GLCanvas of JOGL 2.0 to work around this problem, 2 implementations are available. As Composite and javax.media.opengl.swt.GLCanvas are both heavyweight, it will work as expected.

Another option consists in using NEWT GLWindow instead of javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas.
