Hello,

I display a JTextArea in a JScrollPane.

jTextArea.setColumns(col) does not cause the scrollpane to resize
automatically. I checked the jTextArea's preferredSize before and after
the setColumns() call - the width does change.
But it is not until I explicitly execute jPane.setPreferredSize() that
the resize takes effect.

I tried invalidate() on the textarea, the viewport and the scrollpane -
to no avail.

Any ideas input is most welcome.

Regards,
