The constructor for JTextArea: public JTextArea(String text, int rows, int columns, int scrollbars) is not creating any scrollbars. A previous bug #4079951 was logged that said the vertical int was causing a horizontal scrollbar. Now no scrollbar choices work.

This occurs with swing-0.5.1 and the JDK1.2Q.

These 3 variables do not work in the following example: SCROLLBARS_BOTH, SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY, SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY

import com.sun.java.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class test4 extends JFrame {

    public test4() {
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        String SomeStr = "hello";
        JTextArea myTextArea = new JTextArea(SomeStr, 10, 10, JTextArea.SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY);
        add("Center", myTextArea);
        System.out.println(myTextArea.getScrollbarVisibility());
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        test4 myWindow = new test4();
        myWindow.setTitle("My JTextArea Example");
        myWindow.pack();
        myWindow.show();
    }
}
