The SwingUtilities.computeIntersection() gets "negative" rectangle as a
result for rectangles which do not intersect.

-----------------------Example--------------------
import java.awt.swing.SwingUtilities;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
public class SwingUtilitiesTest {
    public static void main(String s[]) {
    
  Rectangle rec_1 = new Rectangle(0,0,10,10); // Do not intersect
  Rectangle rec_2 = new Rectangle(40,40,10,10);

  if (rec_1.intersects(rec_2)) {
   System.out.println("Could not setup test "+rec_1+"intersects "+rec_2);
   return;
  }

  
  System.out.println("The intersection is: "+
          SwingUtilities.computeIntersection(rec_1.x,
                                      rec_1.y,
                                      rec_1.width,
                                      rec_1.height,
                                      rec_2));
   }
}
--------------------------------------------------
Output:
The intersection is: java.awt.Rectangle[x=40,y=40,width=-30,height=-30]
