Bug number 4290656 describes a bug in
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalBorders
that was fixed for 1.4b1.

Unfortunately, at least one nearly-identical
bug still remains. Here's a comment I wrote
for bug 4290656:

The 1.4b1 line numbers are 1049 and 1050. I don't
know if that's an actual change from 1.3 or if I
was slightly off earlier.
