I'm unsure if these codebase comments are developer or documentation - please put this in the right place and email hagen@eng to let me know where it goes.

This does not look like form output to me.


This is part of awt.Component. * @version 1.65, 12/14/95
I wonder if " You can assume that the background is not cleared. " is
correct or why is the g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height); in the code?
Does it not work?
