Kirill,

I wanted you to be aware of a minor issue with some of the JCK15
JTextPaneTests. We do not consider this a blocking issue as the
behavior on Windows exactly matches what we see on Mac OS X. The
problem is in the JDK, not in the tests, as evidenced by the behavior
also matching in the StylePad example application.

The problem is an inconsistent behavior of text underlining under
certain circumstances, usually involving blanks in a line of text. We
think this is already covered in Sun bugs 6257873 and 4906045. The
only reason this even comes up as a JCK issue is because of the text
in the JCK test stating "verify the JTextPane...displays text
underlined when text is typed in." Since text is not always
underlined, one of our testers thought a test failure might have been
involved.

To reproduce the bug:
1) In the JCK15, run JTextPaneTest0001
2) The text in the JCK test says "Please verify that the JTextPane
shown below displays text underlined when text is typed in."
3) Type 4 spaces and hit Enter, notice there is no underlining
4) Type 2 spaces on next line, notice the underline, type "a"
character and hit Enter
5) Notice the underlining disappears.
6) Type in any text and hit Enter - the underline remains while you
are typing the text but as soon as you hit Enter key, the underline
disappears.
7) This bug occurs in other JCK interactive tests like
JTextPaneTest0009 and JTextPaneTest0012
8) This bug also occurs in StylePad Swing application.

We are tracking this via our Radar bug 4097235. Except for making you
aware of the issue, I don't think any further action is required.
Perhaps, if the bug in the JDK isn't fixed, you might consider
wording the text in the JCK test differently, or adding a reference
to the known bugs.
