A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I have e.g. a JEditorPane on a JPanel and set:
myEditorPane.setOpaque(false)
I will only see a white background, not the panel behind the editorpane.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Only create a panel with a certain background and place a JEditorPane on it. Set the editorpane to opaque(false) and have a look, if you see the panels color.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect to see the color of the panel behind.
ACTUAL -
I only see a white field.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
