 The spec for swing.text.JTextComponent does not specify caret position
 in the linked document when the text has been inserted.

 The doc:
 "
public void setText(String t)
     * Sets the text of this TextComponent to the specified text. If the
     * text is null or empty, has the effect of simply deleting the old text.
     * <p>
     * This method is thread safe, ...
     
     * @param t the new text to be set
     * @see #getText
     * @beaninfo
     * description: the text of this component
     */
 
 "
The example works differently under jdk1.2beta4 and jdk1.2fcsF:
-------------------------------8-<--------------------------------
import com.sun.java.swing.JTextPane;
import com.sun.java.swing.text.*;

class Test {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {


      SimpleAttributeSet ast = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument();


      JTextPane c = new JTextPane(doc);
       StubIcon sc = new StubIcon();

       c.setCharacterAttributes(ast,true);
       c.setText("The text");

       System.out.println("The pos 1:"+c.getCaretPosition());
       c.insertIcon(sc);
       System.out.println("The pos 2:"+c.getCaretPosition());
             
       System.exit(0);
   }
}

   class StubIcon extends Object implements com.sun.java.swing.Icon {
    public StubIcon() {
    }
    public void paintIcon(java.awt.Component c, java.awt.Graphics g,
                          int x, int y) {}
    public int getIconWidth() {return 0;}
    public int getIconHeight() {return 0;}
    
   }

-------------------------------8-<--------------------------------
 Output in JDK-1.2beta4-K:
The pos 1:8
The pos 2:9

 Output in JDK-1.2fcs-F:
The pos 1:0
The pos 2:0
