[Bug swing/26193] New: wrong handling of placing Caret at illegal position

[thebohemian at gmx dot net]

When calling caret.moveDot with a value that is too large the reference impl
throw one IllegalArgumentException.

On Classpath an AssertionError is thrown and, worst of all, throwing the error
repeats. Probably whenever the screen is repainted.

One has to note that even though the JDK throw the exception the wrong caret
position can be retrieved afterwards with caret.getDot().
