Run the following application (java B).
It will create a toolbar with one button in it
in the "North" region of a border layout panel.
You'll see that the button has been incorrectly
resized so that its label text requires
truncation.
The label should read "label"; instead it
reads "la...". This problem seems to be
related to BorderLayout and the BoxLayout that
is used by the JToolBar widget.
