A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The code belows demonstates that when JList contains large dataset, the scrollbar does not appear, although it should.

Mysterious thing is, that when AMOUNT is set under 125 million, scrollbar reappears and everything works correctly. Also, when AMOUNT is close to Integer.MAX_VALUE, scrollbar is visible but fails to work at larger values.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the program in description.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JList and JScrollbar should support lists at least to size Integer.MAX_VALUE as it seems when reading documentation, preferably to any value, of course.
ACTUAL -
No scrollbar OR very funnily working list.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.*;

{
    
    static final int AMOUNT = 128000000; //large list, scrollbar no show
    //static final int AMOUNT = 12000000; //"small" list, scrollbar shows

    static ListModel bigData = new AbstractListModel() {
public int getSize() { return AMOUNT; }
public Object getElementAt(int index) { return "Index " + index; }
};

    public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
JFrame f = new JFrame("LIST");

JList li = new JList(bigData);

JScrollPane p = new JScrollPane(li);
f.getContentPane().add(p);
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception err) {
