Comments
EVALUATION JTable currently forces the row height to be 16, but this is often not enough to display various fonts. In particular the font height changed between 1.3 and 1.4 (4467709) so that there may not be enough space with a size of 16. In order to fix this BasicTableUI should install a different font height upon changing the font, and remove documentation indicating the default height is 16. As this may effect quite a few apps I am commiting this to tiger vs mantis. ###@###.### 2002-07-19 My initial evaluation was wrong. This was happening because we were getting the wrong fonts for table and textfields. As a result of the fix for 4419964 we are now picking up the right font, so that there isn't a problem with size anymore. ###@###.### 2003-09-09

WORK AROUND Set the row height of the table to a larger value, perhaps 17. ###@###.### 2002-07-19
