Problem found on Windows 2000, RedHat7.2, TurboLinux7.0

java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)

-Run the test case: java JTextAreaTest
-The JTextArea does not appear to have "RIGHT_TO_LEFT" orientation.
 The text "jtext" is aligned to the left not to the right.
-Type some text into the text area.
-Now the text is aligned to the right as was originally expected.

  -----------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JTextAreaTest extends JTextArea {
        public JTextAreaTest() {
                super();
                setText("Swing JTextArea component");
                setName("jtext");
                addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());
                setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
        }
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Swing JTextArea component");
                frame.getContentPane().add(new JTextAreaTest());
                frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {
                                System.exit(0);
                        }
                });
                frame.setSize(300, 300);
                frame.show();
        }
}
-----------------------------------------

Also the key binding control+shift+o key for toggling between "RIGHT_TO_LEFT" and "LEFT_TO_RIGHT" orientations only works after some text has been typed into the text area.
