Description From _ gsporar 2007-08-21 17:33:16

I'm using JDK 6 Update 2 on Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn).

When I run NetBeans 6 I have noticed that in some dialog boxes the text fields
are not tall enough to display characters
that have descenders.  On other dialog boxes in the IDE this is not a problem. 
Is this a Swing issue?  Or is the
problem with the way that the dialog was implemented?

I will attach a screen snapshot of the "register server" dialog that I created
with the daily build from 2007-08-21
(running with the default settings in netbeans.conf).  Note that the path to
the server install directory is hard to
read - the "sjsas" in /usr/share/sjsas looks like "sisas" because the lower
part of the 'j' is not visible.

Reassigning to "core"... Anyway, couldn't reproduce with SwingSet application
(jdk1.6.0_02).

Similar problems are likely on JDK/Swing side, but we'll have to prove it
and/or workaround if possible.
