ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
X86_64 /Linux ubuntu 16/jdk1.8.0_221 , jdk1.8.0_211, jdk1.8.0_66
X86_64/Windows 10/jdk1.8.0_221

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
 Label which is in Tab's VBOX texts are not displayed correctly until we click the tab.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
/* How to reproduce the bug */
  1. compile this program ($javac TestTabLabel.java)
  2. start the test with jdk8_66 or later ($java8 TestTabLabel)
  3. click "Add TAB" button
  4. click "Add dummy rows"
  5. click "delete rows"
  6. select/focus "target tab" TAB by a mouse
  7. click "Add updated rows"

  We expect "dummy aaa changed." ..."dummy ddd changed." are displayed on the "target tab" TAB,
  but actually "dummy aaa" ... "dummy ddd" are displayed.
  But then we click "target tab" , the tab is repainted and "dummy aaa changed." ..."dummy ddd changed." are displayed.

But if we follow the below instructions: ( changes the order 5 and 6 above, selecting 'target tab" before clicking delete raws)
 this bug is not seen.
  1. compile this program ($javac TestTabLabel.java)
  2. start the test with jdk8_66 or later ($java8 TestTabLabel)
  3. click "Add TAB" button
  4. click "Add dummy rows"
  5. select "target tab" TAB
  6. click "delete rows"
  7. click "Add updated rows"


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
In the Tab "target tab",
 dummy aaa changed.
 dummy bbb changed.
 dummy ccc changed.
 dummy ddd changed.
is seen.

ACTUAL -
In the Tab "target tab",
 dummy aaa
 dummy bbb
 dummy ccc
 dummy ddd
is seen until we click the tab.
