In swing-0.6.1, when using a JTextField and
the text is longer than the field width, you can
scroll the text left and right using the arrows
keys. However, when setting the textfield to
non-editable using 'setEditable(false)', not only
the text edit feature gets disabled as expected, but in addition scrolling doesn't work anymore.

public class Foo {
    public static
    void main(String args[]) {
        JTextField fld;
        Frame f = new Frame();
        f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        f.add( fld = new JTextField("Hello World ! This is a really long text"), "West" );
        fld.setEditable( false );
        f.setSize(100, 50);
        f.show();
    }
}
