Type more chars than can fit in a JTextField and then scroll back, when the
cursor moves far enough to cause the view to scroll an echo of the caret is
left in the middle of the field. Run the sample code below, type enough chars
to over-fill the field and then scroll back and eventually you will see the
echoed caret.

If the look and feel is not forced to be windows the echo of the caret is at
the far left or right of the field depending on which way you are scrolling.

public class VerticalBar// extends JPanel
{
  //main for debug and general testing.
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try {UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());}
    catch(Exception exc) {System.err.println("Error loading L&F: " + exc);}

    JTextField testField = new JTextField("wwwwwwwwwwwww");

    JDialog frame = new JDialog();
    frame.getContentPane().add(testField);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
    {
     public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
     {
       System.exit(1);
     }
    });
  }
}
