rest-client form / control drawing with Java 8 #32

Hello subwiz,

For years I've been a great fan user of rest-client, many thanks for all your good work on this product. Recently, I've been using new versions of rest-client (3.4.x) on a Windows 7 Enterprise workstation, where JRE 8 update 25 was installed.

There seem to be some visual form / control painting issues when using Java 8, as I didn't see this when using Java 7. This (at least) manifests in artifacts in the URL bar when typing a URL (some characters of the URL may be obscured then) and around the edges of the URL bar. Even just hovering over controls of the rest-client form (like the HTTP method selection) obscures the text "under" the mouse position.

I have attached a screenshot for your convenience. Did you test rest-client with Java 8?

Hoping this will help you in making rest-client even better! Kind regards from Europe.

Thanks for reporting. Rest client development is done in Java 8 in Mac. Let me check it out in windows.
