Description rost 2007-08-06 10:57:07 UTC 
When I have texts with special characters, e.g. \u011D, they are correctly rendered in the Value text area the bottom 
of the screen but not in the table view. The worst thing is that rendering just stops at the special character so that 
the table provides incomplete information.

Comment 3 Marian Petras 2007-08-06 16:23:50 UTC 
This is caused by a JDK bug and it is JDK-specific. I could only reproduce it with a monospaced font. I have reproduced
it Linux (running on Intel) on several versions of JDK with various results:

   JDK 1.4.2_15:   The 'g' with circumflex is rendered below text baseline and there is no space right of it
   JDK 1.5.0_12:   The 'g' with circumflex is rendered below text baseline,
                   both horizontal and vertical position vary with each run of the test application
   JDK 1.6.0_02:   Rendering varies significantly - sometimes the 'g' is not displayed at all,
                   sometimes it is displayed far right of the preceding text, sometimes it is rendered
                   over the preceding character, vertical position varies, too.
   JDK 1.7.0-ea-b16:  Seems to be working correctly every time.

I filed JDK bug 6589604 for it. Please note that it may take several days for the bug to appear in the public bug
database (http://bugs.sun.com/).
Comment 7 Marian Petras 2007-08-06 17:19:06 UTC 
This bug is only reproducible on Linux.
Comment 8 rost 2007-08-10 20:17:07 UTC 
Thank you very much for filing the bug report. Here is the direct link:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6589604
By the way, the evaluator asks for more info:
"The specific distro and version of Linux should be provided by the submitter." Can you do that? My Linux distribution 
is in constant flux and not specific enough. Debian testing :-)

I have already answered to the question (through a Sun-internal tool). It just is not visible in the bug report at
bugs.sun.com.
