FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
[WinXP]
java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b23)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
[Mac OS X]
java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13-120)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_05-b13-52, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Mac OS X Version 10.5.2
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Running inside VMWare Fusion virtual machine on Mac.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When displaying HTML, a paragraph tag (<p>) is supposed to leave an offset (usually one blank line) above it. This works properly in Java 5. In Java 6, this only works when the paragraph tag is *not* within a table cell. When in a table cell, Java 6 seems to treat paragraph tags like simple line breaks (no blank line above).
I've tested this on both WinXP and Apple Mac OS X.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See the attached source code. In general, just try using paragraph tags in an HTML doc. Then try again with the text placed inside a table cell.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A paragraph tag should usually leave with a blank space (one line?) above it, to separate itself from any preceding paragraph. This should work the same whether the content is in the HTML's main body, or within a table.
ACTUAL -
In Java 6 only, the content within a table does not include a blank space above paragraphs.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Release Regression From : 5.0
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was not reproducible. Since then there has been a regression.
