Bug persists in Intrepid. I wonder why we only just recently had this
problem reported, and only now found the workaround. Is this an Ubuntu-
only thing? Do not many people use OpenJDK?

In any case, the workaround does work, except that I tweaked it to be
en_US instead of de_DE. I'm attaching two screenshots of Anathema
v1.3.1, a program for managing characters in the like for the tabletop
game Exalted. One is pre-workaround, and one is post-workaround. I added
"export LC_ALL=en_US.ISO-8859-15" in the included anathema.sh right
before the line that runs the jar.

I hope a proper fix comes soon. :)

** Attachment added: "Anathema v1.3.1, Ability tab for Solar Exalt. Before workaround."

Bug description:
i am on Ubuntu 8.04.1, effect is the same on i386 and amd64, Package: openjdk-6-jre, Version: 6b11-2ubuntu2

Swing UI elements (lists, labels) have additional vertical space, some applets user interfaces are therefore broken with openjdk. In contrast sun-java6-jre works fine with tvbrowser and other applets. I attached a good and a bad png-image. The java program to render the example is ugly but still useable with openjdk but i think the error is shown clearly in comparison of the bad openjdk.png with the good sun sun-java.png.
