Problem with addRow and MultiLine Cell renderer

Question

Hi ,
Ive a problem with no solution to me .......
Ive seen in the forum and Ivent found an answer.......
The problem is this:
Ive a JTable with a custom model and I use a custom multiline cell renderer.
(becuse in the real application "way" hasnt static lenght)
When I add the first row all seem to be ok.....
when I try to add more row I obtain :

This seems to be caused by
table.setRowHeight(row,(getPreferredSize().height+2)); (line 164 of my example code)
About the model I think its ok.....but who knows :-(......
Please HELP me in anyway!!!
Example code :

In the addRow method, change the line
this.fireTableRowsInserted(this.getRowCount(),this.getRowCount()); to
this.fireTableRowsInserted(data.size() - 1, data.size() - 1);Sai Pullabhotla
