On Solaris, the text of the checkboxes appears centred, whereas on Windows the text is left-aligned. This causes problems when trying to design platform-neutral user interfaces.

Fails on all releases up to 1.4.2.

See 4023127, 4097316 - both closed

A workaround was posted as a comment to Sun Bug 4023127, and a potential fix was posted to 4097316, however this fix is no longer applied.

Testcase:

import java.awt.*;

public class AWTRadioAlign extends Frame
{
  public AWTRadioAlign()
  {
    super("Radio Button Alignment Test");

    Panel p = new Panel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
    CheckboxGroup cg = new CheckboxGroup();

    p.add(new Checkbox("small", cg, false));
    p.add(new Checkbox("medium", cg, false));
    p.add(new Checkbox("large", cg, false));
    add("Center",p);
    setSize(200, 400);

    show();
  }
  public static void main (String[] args)
  {
    new AWTRadioAlign();
  }
}
