Hi, Jonathan, I'm adding swing-dev to CC as we now consider changing Swing code.
What you propose sounds technically reasonable, but I don't think it is worth doing anyway as show() and hide() have been deprecated for years now.
Even if we accept the change in JComponent.hide(), we should then override show() as well (lightweight component may be non-opaque, so we should repaint from its parent), so there will be code duplication. This is one more reason to leave all as is.
This is my personal opinion, I'm not a Swing expert, though. Let anyone from the Swing group comment.

Hi Artem, Thanks for your time. 2012/3/19 Artem Ananiev <artem.anan...@oracle.com <mailto:artem.anan...@oracle.com>> Hi, Jonathan, given the code in java.awt.Component, your statement about difference between hide() and setVisible(false) looks pretty strange to me. Indeed, here is the implementation: public void show(boolean b) { if (b) { show(); } else { hide(); } } and public void setVisible(boolean b) { show(b); } In JComponent the latter method is overridden and adds exactly what you propose: parent.repaint(). This addition makes sense for lightweight components (e.g. Swing), but heavyweight AWT components shouldn't require this: repaint request is sent from the native system. Yes, lightweight and heavyweight components differ in painting. The original test case only works for the conditions of lightweight components, with another test case for heavyweight components, I found that the problem could not be reproduced on AWT any more. I think the change is only applicable for Swing components, so how about repaint in JComponent.hide() like this? diff -r cdbb33303ea3 src/share/classes/javax/swing/JComponent.java --- a/src/share/classes/javax/swing/JComponent.java Wed Mar 14 13:50:37 2012 -0700 <tel:2012%20-0700> +++ b/src/share/classes/javax/swing/JComponent.java Tue Mar 20 16:24:09 2012 +0800 @@ -5237,6 +5237,16 @@ } } + public void hide() { + super.hide(); + Container parent = getParent(); + if (parent != null) { + Rectangle r = getBounds(); + parent.repaint(r.x, r.y, r.width, r.height); + parent.invalidate(); + } + } + /** * Returns whether or not the region of the specified component is * obscured by a sibling.

The reason of this failure is that java.awt.Component.hide() does not repaint the special area it used to taken of parent container. Although this is deprecated method, it may still valuable for customers due to compatibility reason. Bug 7154030 created for this issue. Here's a simple test case to demonstrate this problem. /* * Copyright (c) 2012 Oracle and/or its affiliates.
