Name: rmT116609 Date: 05/23/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b19, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JToolBar.Separator expands to fill all available horizontal space in Windows LAF. This behavior is new to 1.4.2.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a toolbar, add a button, a separator, and a button. Add the toolbar in the NORTH region of a container with BorderLayout LM.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The separator should be just wide enough to separate the buttons.
ACTUAL -
The separator fills all unused space on the toolbar.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
