Font functionality is broken for JTable cells in editing mode

Name: jbT81659 Date: 11/03/2000

JDK: Kestrel, Merlin
OS: All tested platforms

Bidi text JTable cells is displayed correctly upon initilization of JTable.
Clicking a JTable cell twice for editing causes the RTL text to be displayed as boxes.
Moving the focus on another location in JTable or another JTable cell causes
the RTL text in the previously opened cell to be displayed correctly again.

To reproduce bug:
1- Compile and run the following code.
2- Note that bidi characters are displayed correctly( not boxes).
3- Use the mouse to double click a JTable cell.
4- Not that all RTL characters are displayed as boxes now.
5- Try to insert RTL chars (If avilable)
6- Note that input chars are also displayed as boxes.
7- Click somewhere else with the mouse (inside JTable).
8- Note that text in the cell that was displayed as boxes
 is now displayed correctly.
