Disabled JFormattedTextField and JTextArea show as white in Windows L&F

XMLWordPrintable

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.5.0_02"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      4NT 6.01.233U Windows XP 5.1

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When a JTextField is disabled, the background color is set to gray. This was apparently fixed in response to Bug ID 4883120. But when a JFormattedTextField or JTextArea is disabled, the background is left as white. This makes it hard for users to distinguish between enabled and disabled controls.


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
