<Swing Dev> [10] JDK-8004029: [macosx] The long Tab titles are not clipped with dots at the end.

[Shashidhara Veerabhadraiah]

Hi All, Please review a fix for the JDK- 8004029 where the long tab titles were not clipped with the dots at the end to indicate a lengthy title. The aqua look and feel which is the default laf for mac does the title clipping only leading to an ambiguous UI where in the clipped title would look like the complete title though it is not. Hence it is good to show dots at the end indicating a much bigger title exists though the tab does not have enough real estate to display the complete title.

 

Solution and fix: I have updated the aqua laf module to clip the title text and put the dots at the end if the text size is larger than the tab size. Below is the picture after the fix.
