If a JComboBox is "talking to [a] JButton constructor", then it must be
creating a new JButton, rather than updating an existing one. It may be
replacing one JButton with another one, but that's not the same thing as
updating the text of a JButton that already exists, and has already been
added to some JPanel component hierarchy.

Are you sure you're adding the new JButton to the correct JPanel?

Is the JPanel holding the JButton visible or hidden at the time it's being
"updated" with the new JButton?

Without seeing the relevant code and how it all interconnects, I'm afraid
the best we can do is guess.
