Hi Semyon, Thanks for your review comments.
Here are those different scroll bar pane modes and their description: Modifier and Type Field Description static int HYPERLINK "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/awt/ScrollPane.html#SCROLLBARS_ALWAYS"SCROLLBARS_ALWAYS Specifies that horizontal/vertical scrollbars should always be shown regardless of the respective sizes of the scrollpane and child. static int HYPERLINK "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/awt/ScrollPane.html#SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED"SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED Specifies that horizontal/vertical scrollbar should be shown only when the size of the child exceeds the size of the scrollpane in the horizontal/vertical dimension. static int HYPERLINK "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/awt/ScrollPane.html#SCROLLBARS_NEVER"SCROLLBARS_NEVER Specifies that horizontal/vertical scrollbars should never be shown regardless of the respective sizes of the scrollpane and child.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195738 Webrev: HYPERLINK "http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Esveerabhadra/8195738/webrev.00/"http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sveerabhadra/8195738/webrev.00/ Problematic platform: Windows only. Summary: This bug occurs only on windows platform and whereas the behavior is different on Mac/Linux platforms. Now after this fix there is common behavior across the platforms. The main problem was with resetting the state of the scroll bars even though the scroll bar panes are spawned with SCROLLBARS_NEVER as the scroll bar display policy. This resetting should not occur as the scroll bar display policy makes the scroll bar panes invisible. Hence except the setScrollPosition() calls, we don't need to resize/update the scroll bars state upon calling the scroll bars validation if SCROLLBARS_NEVER policy is used as the scroll bars are not displayed.
