Compile and run the following code:
-------------------------------------------
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class BidiBug extends JPanel {
    public JTextField field;
    public BidiBug() {
     field = new JTextField(4);
     add(field);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.println("Failed to set look and feel:" + ex);
System.exit(0);
}
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("TextField");
        frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
        });


        BidiBug bb = new BidiBug();
        frame.getContentPane().add(bb, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.setSize(new Dimension(200,200));
        frame.setVisible(true);
        bb.field.setText("\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea\u05ea");
        bb.field.selectAll();
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------
You can see that the selected text is painted not only in
the field, but also on the enclosing panel.
I use here Hebrew letters - with English text it works fine.
It works good also when the text is completely in the field
(In my case the field doesn't have enough place for the text).
The problem occurs only when using Windows L&F.
I also tried to rewrite "create" function
in BasicTextFieldUI to return always FieldView and not
I18NFieldView, and in this case it works OK also. The problem in this
workaround that I don't want to lose all bidirectional features.
I would highly appreciate any possible workaround.
Thank you.
