Losing part of the first character in a text field
Hi
Hoping someone can help me with this. I have a number of text fields which I populate with data from a database. When I do so I find I'm missing part of the first character in the text field. I've tried setting the margins on the text field using
UIManager.put("TextPane.margin",new InsetsUIResource(10,10,10,10));
but still get this problem. The way I currently solve it is to add a space at the beginning of the string and although this works, it isnt the most ideal solution.
Could anyone help or shed some light?
If necessary the code below produces the same effect. Mainly in the area name text field. In my main code I also use JGoodies FormDesigner and FormLayout but as I've replicated the effect without these I dont think they're responsible.
Thanks in advance
