* UI implementation uses wrong component for description text. Have a look at how it looks like on Mac (attached). Sometimes there's even a scroll bar next to description.
this just needs to get fixed.
A JScrollPane seems to interfere with the opaque property of its contained JTextArea on mac os x's swing impl. Filed issue against form editor to stop them from doing this. work-around for the Mac Swing bug: pull the JTextArea out of the JScrollPane.
Try to use JLabel with text in <html></html> tags. That worked for me in Matisse.
