Unexpected IllegalArgumentExc during the test.
How to reproduce:
1) Run the test from Comments (I belive the test may be easily reduced) on Windows2000 with JDK6.0b45 (or b40). You would see a frame with JTable in it.
2) Press left mouse button on the bottom of the frame and drag mouse up on the screen till the frame become a title. You should do it fast enough may be for several times.
3) You may also see an Exception if drag top border of the frame.
The exception is:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (592) and height (0) cannot be <= 0

Seems this exception doesn't occur with pure AWT testcase. Believe it's in 2D part of JDK.
