Hi Walter, Walter Laan wrote:
The fix for bug 6491856 "For JTextArea the standard text terminal size 80x24 seems to be the reasonable default." doesn't seem to work correctly. When I tested it in JDK7-ea-b76 the preferred size returned from the example code is [width=0,height=1376] while I would expect [width=880,height=384] (the result of new JTextArea(24, 80).getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() on my system).
This is likely caused by 6925473, which is being fixed now.
Perhaps the default [width=400,height=400] for the preferred scrollable viewport size when preferred size is null should be used though. The 880 width seems a bit too wide to me - for reference 6u18 gives currently [width=100,height=16] for JTextArea with the sample text.
Seems a good idea, thanks! -- Peter
