I can confirm this bug using Ubuntu 8.10 and 'openjdk-6-jdk' (6b12-0ubuntu6), too. It seems to affect all Java applications using Swing and the Metal Look&Feel.
Find another screenshot (showing FreeMind, NetBeans and jDownloader) attached. As captn pointed out, only OpenJDK seems to be affected. Rendering using SunJDK seems to work okay.
