Once again, a new OS update, a new bizarre layout behavior for Aqua Swing components.

I apologize if the control metrics seem bizarre, however we are only trying to follow the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines (and we're not done yet). Also, Java is in the unique position of needing the full area around the control that the focus ring draws to also be "within the bounds of the control".

That's assuming that the focus ring is drawn as part of the component's graphics as opposed to some other way (the layered pane works nicely for this purpose). There are probably a host of issues that you have to consider, but I would think you'd like to avoid the Java layout *having* to be different from a native app layout just to provide extra border space for a potential focus ring.
