Phew!  Most people here would not have time to trawl
through it anyway, if all else fails, see instead*..

The GUI code.  Look particularly for use of setSize()
(a bad sign) setBounds() (a worse sign) setLayout(null)
(hire somebody that knows how to write GUI's).

Look also for *lack* of pack()/validate(), as that
can *hide* problems that may not be apparent
on one platform.

And if that fails, get a copy of the code, cut off
the D/B and replace the data with groups of
generated strings, then cut the GUI down till
you can show a single, short example of code *
of any JList that fails to render properly,
and post it to the group.
