When I reload the applet the labels with html syntax hides.

I coded this applet to try out the html syntax for swing object labels.
I'm using jdk 1.6 update 22 and firefox

This applet works fine when I am viewing the applet for the first time. but if I reload the applet the labels with html syntax in them hides.

This is the code

package test;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

/**

public class NewJApplet extends JApplet {

public void init() {

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

GridBagConstraints panelConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
panelConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
panelConstraints.weightx = 1.0;
panelConstraints.ipadx = 5;
panelConstraints.gridx = 0;
panelConstraints.gridy = 0;

JToolTip tt = new JToolTip();
tt.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 20));
tt.setTipText("<html>ToolTip</html>");

JButton button = new JButton("<html>Button</html>");
button.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
button.setBorderPainted(false);
button.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
button.setActionCommand("export");
button.setBackground(Color.white);
button.setOpaque(false);
button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 50));

panel.add(button, panelConstraints);
panelConstraints.gridx = 1;
panelConstraints.gridy = 1;
panel.add(tt, panelConstraints);

JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>Label</html>");
panelConstraints.gridx = 0;
panelConstraints.gridy = 1;
panel.add(label, panelConstraints);
add(panel);

}
}

Please help...

Hi Priyal,

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have exactly the same problem. It is ok in older JVMs.

EDIT: This appears to be caused by or related to this bug in the JLabel.
