no :-) 1,3(partially),4,5

The FocusCellOwnerDrawHighlighter highlites just a cell. I'd like to have 
a highlited row (like default behaviour when not using 
FocusCellOwnerDrawHighlighter) and additionally highliting the focused 
cell at the same time (border).

if i understood you correctly. If i select one cell in tree (1 of 20 
columns) and navigate with cursor or tab vertically, the tree should 
follow? That does not work on my machine (macos, jdk1.5, eclipse 3.4)

Many thanks,
