I use a custom painter that extends
DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter to highlight some text of a
JEditPane.  The painter is created with a color that is the same as the
JEditPane's selection color.

On Windows, when using this painter, the highlight is drawn the correct color
but with Java 1.5 the text is not inverted as it should be.  Under 1.4 the
same code works fine.  The text in question is blue and is drawn using the
HTMLEditorKit when there is a hypertext link.

If I just use the mouse to select over this text, the text is highlighted in
the selection color and the text itself is drawn in white.  However, using
the same selectiion color in my painter the text is left blue and is hard to
read against the slightly darker blue selection color.

Anyone have any idea what changed in 1.4 -> 1.5 to cause this?  Know of a
fix?
