Hi Semyon, Whenever the container is resized we used to update the scroll pane sizes/geometry regardless of the scroll bar display policies. This resizing make sense for the non SCROLLBARS_NEVER cases as the scroll pane is displayed or needed an update. This additional update posed issues for the SCROLLBARS_NEVER case where we are not supposed to display the scroll pane per the java doc, then why update?
Scroll pane geometry gets updated in 2 ways, one thro' setScrollPosition() and childResized(). So I derived the conclusion based on the javadoc information that since we don't display the scroll pane there is no need to update the scroll pane geometry based on the childResized() as it was altering the position already set by the setScrollPosition(). This behavior is same as the other non SCROLLBARS_NEVER mode and setting the scroll bar display to SCROLLBARS_NEVER didn't made any difference.

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. This javadoc, you've copy-pasted here, doesn't explain why in your fix the notification about changed child size is disabled for SCROLLBARS_NEVER case.

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.
