I'm trying to put a small left margin in my
text field. This works however when I type
more text than can fit in the field's width
and then press HOME, the view gets messed up
and tries to draw text as if the margin was
not set. This is using Swing1.1.1beta1 under
JDK1.1.7

Run the following test program. Type
"01234567890abcedefg" and so on until textfield
starts to scroll. Now press HOME key. Notice
that the initial "01.." is cut off.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Test extends JFrame
{
    Test() {
        super("Test");

        JTextField field = new JTextField(8);
        field.setMargin(new Insets(0,10,0,0));
        getContentPane().add(field);
        pack();
        show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test();
    }
}
