I have a form on which there are meny components. Many of the labels have an EmptyBorder assigned with insets set on Left, Top & Bottom. Only the Left inset is being shown in the designer, not the Top or Bottom one. This makes it difficult to design my form correctly. I have created a demo Desktop App to illustrate the point and have attached a screen shot to show the problem.

This is weird. I've just installed JDK 6 update 7 and the problem no longer occurs. I guess this was probably a Java problem instead of a Netbeans one.
