      If component has html content, screen reader will read both html markup and text instead of reading only text.
      Is a regression: no, checked on a couple of prevoios updates.
      Is platform-specific: no, but on windows with NVDA problems are not so serious.

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Enable voiceover (for Mac) or NVDA (for windows)
      2. Open SwingSet2 demo, navigate to JButton demo tab and click button with red title "Three".
      Expected result: Voiceover says 'three'.
      Actual result: Voiceover says 'html font size 2 color red bold font html'

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Enable voiceover (for Mac) or NVDA (for windows)
      2. Run attached sample and try to click any of style components.

      Html tags are not read on windows with NVDA, but they are acting like separators: "<html><b>T</b>ab</html>" is read like "Tee-ab".
