It's a bug and it's been fixed but the fix hasn't been released yet.

Sorry. We're working as hard as we can with the resources we have (which
aren't many) to fix bugs. Things will definitely improve with future
releases.
But I should mention that if you're working on a visual tool for applets
and using absolute positioning then you're doing people a disservice
when they're applet looks like crap on a platform other than the one
they developed it under.
