[dev nov 8] When using multitab style "one row, arrows", the upper/lower borders of tabs are chosen poorly and look ugly. See attached screenshot. Note that (1) the Property Sheet is using a plain TabbedPaneUI, so this can serve as a basis for comparison; (2) the original value of the constant SPACE_TAB was 5, which looked horrible (upper margin was huge); I made it 0, but actually -2 is required to make the upper border the same size as with the normal UI; (3) the lower border appears to be too slim; (4) while in the Editor and Output Window it looks tolerable, in the Explorer for some reason the spacing is substantially larger and uglier. Probably the constants need to be tweaked and/or changes made to the painting algorithm, to more closely resemble the regular TabbedPaneUI appearance. The test client in issue #15943 should be helpful in testing graphical changes, especially as it lets you set the tab position (any changes must look reasonable in all four positions).

Target milestone -> 3.4
ArrowsTabbedPaneUI is deprecated. This piece of code is virtually dead. We'll try to use JDK 1.4 scrolling tabs in the future. I think we won't invest time in fixing this bug
