Description _ gsporar 2007-08-21 17:33:16 UTC 
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).
Comment 5 David Simonek 2007-09-14 11:17:57 UTC 
Similar problems are likely on JDK/Swing side, but we'll have to prove it and/or workaround if possible.

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 8 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2011-10-05 16:14:07 UTC 
Does anyone still see this issue? Works for me. Probably fixed during the time in JDK updates...

Please reopen with new info if you see it.
