[Bug swing/24229] New: JTextField and JTextArea problems

[hendrich at informatik dot uni-hamburg dot de]

Recent changes broke the Swing text components... (unfortunately, some of
those changes were probably motivated by my previous bug reports. Sorry.)

Run the attached testcase which just displays one JTextField and one JTextArea
without further decoration inside a JFrame.

(1) Type into the textfield to see that the textfield is not updated.
    It seems that the keystrokes are recorded, because the textfield is
    updated when you exit and re-enter the component with the mouse.

    (Note: iirc, the textfield update was already broken before yesterdays
     caret-blinking patch)

(2) Randomly type into the textarea also sometimes triggers the following 
    exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
   at java.lang.String.<init> (String.java:515)
   at java.lang.String.<init> (String.java:241)
   at gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GdkFontMetrics.charsWidth (GdkFontMetrics.java:110)
   at javax.swing.text.PlainView.insertOrRemoveUpdate (PlainView.java:352)
   at javax.swing.text.PlainView.insertUpdate (PlainView.java:376)
