It isn't an IDE bug, its a very long standing Java issue (harks back to
1.4.2 days. Suffered for years). Swing's GTK "integration" has been
sub-par since its very beginnings. Priority is given to Windows
integration and GTK just does not look good. Whilst it may appear there
are no layout issues in the screenshots, they do not conform to the rest
of the GNOME applications, which obviously determine their padding and
{x,y} offsets from the relevant theme files.
I've raised the issue many times over the last few years to no avail,
even whilst Sun developed Java. Unfortunately it seems even Swing itself
now is considered legacy in the face of JavaFX, so perhaps the GTK
"integration" will never truly be realized.
