Scroll bars don't seem to be working correctly with a JTextArea.

I added a JScrollPane that contains a JEditorPane to a JFrame.
When I resized the window to make it longer and shrunk it back
up again, the horizontal scroll bar showed up.

At the bottom is some code to show what the problem is. Compile
this code and resize the window to be about 750 by 150 (doesn't
matter too much). Then resize it back to 150 by 150. You'll notice
that the horiztonal scroll bar appeared at the bottom, even though
you don't have text appearing to cause the scroll bar.

The cause of the problem is basically the width size of the
JEditorPane will remain whatever the biggest width the window
ever was. NOTE: this does not happen in ther vertical direction.

BTW: For those of you who went to Cal Poly a couple of weeks ago,
(Jeff, Mark, etc.), thanks for coming. I appreciated talking with
you.
Also, is there a forum I can look up to find wherever there might
be known bugs for particular classes?
