Christian, your hundreds of lines example of how to implement a new styled
editor kit view to overcome this bug is greatly appreciated! It also helps
me understand how developers manage to work around bugs in Sun's Java when
they're prohibited from fixing Java itself.

It looks like this Bug ID comment from 2001 is fully applicable today:

It is just incredible if you look at the amount of bugs and the
apparent lack of regression tests with the Swing text classes. 1.1.x
had working TABs, but had problems with a negative first line indent.
1.2.2 had a working first line indent, but TABs did not work at all
(!). 1.3 had working TABs again, but no first line indent - again. All
versions are not able to fully justify text, although that
functionality is properly documented and should be expected to work.

End of story: implement your own paragraph view. Based on past
experience, I would not rely on any coming Sun implementation.

Thanks again,
Adam
