FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-beta-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-beta-b14, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0
(SP 4)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The beginning edge of the text in JMenuItems (left edge in
English) does not line up with the text edge of
JRadioButtonMenuItems and JCheckBoxMenuItems. Specifically:

In the Metal and Motif look and feels, JRadioButtonMenuItems
and JCheckBoxMenuItems line up with each other, but not with
plain JMenuItems. Real Motif menus line up all text edges
in a menu.

In the Windows look and feel, JCheckBoxMenuItems and
JMenuItems line up with each other, but
JRadioButtonMenuItems do not line up with them. This is a
regression from JDK 1.3.1.

All of the above appearance bugs are also in JDK 1.4.0.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a JMenu (or JPopupMenu) with some JCheckBoxMenuItems,
some JRadioButtonMenuItems, and some plain JMenuItems.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The leading edges of the text of all items in a JMenu should
be aligned horizontally; that is, all menu item text should
start at the same x-coordinate.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
// This does not take any steps to change the Swing look and feel, but that

        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        menuBar.add(menu);
        frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

        frame.setSize(300, 300);
        frame.show();

Release Regression From : 1.3.1
