There seems to be some bug in the tabcontrol that sometimes the 'x' to close the tabs is not drawn correctly. See screenshot. Usually it is fine. I am not sure why it fails sometimes. Linux, JDK 1.5.0 b48, Metal; but it has been happening to me occasionally since 3.6 times, incl. on JDK 1.4.2.

Strangely, I've seen this only on your laptop, and never been able to reproduce it on any machine myself.
Closing this. I've seen it, I believe it, but the only explanation I can come up with is some peculiarity of your graphics card/driver. Never seen it on any of my machines using metal, never seen it on any other machine. The size of the rectangle is hardcoded, and its positioning hardcoded to be the rectangle's width - 1. If you look closely you can also see something odd in the upper right corners of the tabs. Maybe Graphics.drawLine() is doing something odd?
OK. Only applies to Metal, I think, and I've been running on GTK for a while so I don't know if it still happens. Graphics card? Nothing exotic, I think, but who knows.
