Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JLayeredPane.html#setPosition(java.awt.Component,%20int)
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
setPosition says, "Moves the component to position within its current layer, where 0 is the topmost position within the layer and -1 is the bottommost position." but also says, "position - an int in the range -1..N-1, where N is the number of components in the component's current layer". In other words topmost is 0 only if there are two things in the layer?
getPosition says, "Returns: an int giving the component's position, where 0 is the topmost position and the highest index value = the count count of components at that layer, minus 1". If 0 is topmost, then what does "highest index" mean?
Sounds like three different numbering schemes:
-1 (bottom) through 0 (top)
0 (bottom) through N-1 (top)
N-1 (bottom) through 0 (top)
Seems to me this needs a rewrite.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
