also, lest the powers that be think this is resolved by a workaround...
if the workaround only fixes the vertical offset and not the extra
spacing then it is not really a full workaround. a number of programs,
like any with vertically aligned buttons mixing text and graphics, use
graphics where the extra vertical space occupied by the text label
becomes an issue whether it is properly centered or not.

I am a linux noob, forgive me if I am overlooking something obvious
here.

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.
