A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JRE 1.6 shows a white line on both left and right side of a tooltip text. This happens only when the background colour of the tooltip is changed to a different colour. No issues in JRE 1.5 or before.
Example:
String strTooltipText = "<html><body bgcolor='#18AFE5'><strong>HELP:</strong> <BR><HR>";
strTooltipText += " <strong>This is the help text</strong><BR></body></html>";
component.setToolTipText(strTooltipText);
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Set a tooltip for a Swing Component with a different background colour using HTML. You would see a white line in both left and right side of the tooltip.
Example:
String strTooltipText = "<html><body bgcolor='#B8CFE5'><strong>HELP:</strong> <BR><HR>";
strTooltipText += " <strong>This is the help text</strong><BR></body></html>";
component.setToolTipText(strTooltipText);
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No white border should appear on either side.
ACTUAL -
You would see a white border in both left and right side of the tooltip.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
