This problem shows up on all Beta Versions of jdk1.1
When scrolling the GUI the application will freeze at the point
that it attempts to do a Scrollbar.setValues(....).

No ErrorMessages are produced.

--- here is some example code that causes the problem..

Cc: stom,rchapman,jwolf
MIME-Version: 1.0

Attached: Scrollbar.java (named sbar.jav due to email client limitation)
 
The attached file contains the fix for Javasoft bug #4031472, that has been
applied to the latest Oracle build, 1.1.1o5. The fix is isolated to this file.
 
I have modified setValues() so that the Scrollbar's monitor is not held while
the peer is called. Holding the monitor while calling the peer can lead to a
deadlock because:
 
1. setValues() is called from both the Window Thread and the Event Dispatch
Thread.
 
2. The peer implementation of setValues sends messages to the scroll bar
control, resulting in an inter-thread send from the Event Dispatch Thread.
 
An alternative solution would be to modify the peer to post messages to the
control instead of sending them but this would mean that the peer control
would be in an undefined state on return from the call to setValues(). In
addition posting is less efficient than sending.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
