You will also notice if you look closely at the above screenshot that
not only is the vertical spacing messed up, but also the horizontal
spacing (i.e. there's more space between individual letters in the
OpenJDK version which throws the line-wrap off kilter).

Status in OpenJDK: Confirmed
Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged

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.
