[Bug swing/24317] New: Caret behaviour irregular

[abalkiss at redhat dot com]

JTextComponents have unpredictable caret behaviour.  Sometimes it flashes,
sometimes it doesn't.  Sometimes it doesn't paint at all.  When you click
button1, although the dot position is updated (ie, getDot() stores the new
value), sometimes it is not painted in the new position right away.

Any JTextComponent will do, but below I've pasted a small example.

**EXAMPLE PROGRAM**
import javax.swing.*;

public class Editor
{
  public static void main (String[] args)
  {
    JEditorPane pane = new JEditorPane();
    pane.setText("012345678901234567890e");
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.add(pane);
    jf.setSize(200,200);
    jf.show();
  }
}
