when you build gui with matisse with lots of jcheckboxes - you can see that tab navigation in hard, because focus painter is painted only by one line right from label. when you set empty border in 1 pixel (or insets?) - you can see normal focus painter. so, may be its better by default to surround all jcheckboxes with borders or insets?
The problem is likely because we set no border and no insets to checkboxes and radiobuttons (due to layout issues). Will check how the focus rect it looks on Metal and other look and feels and possibly reconsider the default border adjustment...
Fixed as issue 74522. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 74522 ***
