'W' cropped on JLabel

Thread view:

Somehow my labels with a leading 'W' when left aligned, lose a couple of
pixels off the left.
No ammount of pack() or validate() fixes it.
It is the same across metal & windows L&F's, but okay in CDE/Motif.
Note this is only when left aligned, they are fine in the center.

Anyone recognise this problem?
How do you fix it?

I have noticed that too. So far I have used the easy but not very
satisfying work-around of simply adding a space in front of the string
to display.

due to fix in 1.5

overide JLabel and do this:

public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.translate(1,0);
super.paint(g);
}

Thank you for the info. I was too lazy to search for it myself on bug
parade :)
