        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        When using HTML text in a JButton and setting horizontal alignment to e.g. left, then the left margin is ignored and the text is painted at the left edge of the button, but there is no gap (the left margin) between the left border and the text. This is only one example. The JButton.margin property and the border insets are simply ignored for painting (and for computing baseline) when JButton.text property contains HTML text.

        This is a regression since Java 19 caused by fixes for 8015854 and JDK-8282772.
        Those fixes simply use zero margin for painting HTML text.

        See https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/8407#issuecomment-1761583430 for screenshots of the below test case and for more details.
