A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The problem has already been described in bug 4783068.
But the workarounds (see code) don't work any more.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run and click on the "enabled" checkbox.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Text color of disabled components should always look the same, no matter whether the text is html formatted or not.
ACTUAL -
Color differs considerably and text is hardly readable when html formatted and component is disabled.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Overriding "setEnabled(boolean b)" used to be a workaround, but isn't any more.
