[#2656] - html component is not working

Hi, I am trying to use the html component in iReport, version 5.0

The content of the html is not correctly rendered: so, the size of the field is correctly calculated, but all the content is tight in the small upper left corner (see figure errorHtmlComponent.png).

ALSO: whenever I try to modify the options Horizontal/Vertical Alignment or Scale type, iReport stops work: you can not save or preview anymore.

I observed this behavior also in previous versions.

Only version 4.5.1 showed the html correctly (see figure correcthtmlcomponentver4.5.1.png)

Thanks

COMMENT ON ATTACHED PICTURES:
- the jrxml template and the xml source are identical in both cases.

- Here is the xml source of the html component field:

<prjc_description>&lt;h3 style="color:blue;"&gt;
This project has rich text field&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Here is bold&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Here is italics&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
