JDK-6306218 - JEditorPane is unable to do reasonably spaced indentation in complex HTML tables
Description
As of mustang b86, the long path strings at the bottom of the VM Summary tab are no longer wrapped to window width. This causes the entire right column on the display to be moved off-window and a horizontal scrollbar appears. This breaks the design of the VM Summary display and makes for very poor usability.
Comments
EVALUATION Probably caused by fix for 6306218. The new wrapping behavior in JEditorPane is not necessarily a bug, so we'll need to find a new solution for JConsole. The old code would break lines on arbitrary characters, but it's preferable to break on the pathSeparator character (of the remote operating system). This can be achieved by inserting a non-printing character or dummy tag before each separator in the paths.
