A weird beep on Document.remove(0, 0)

Question

Dear friends,
in some lines of my code, the statement
field.remove(0,  field.getLength());generates a beep in the sound card... it is really weird...
a question: is there a better way to clean a document instead of remove(offset, length) ??

Answer 1

It's not clear why you're getting a beeping sound.
I guess it's possible that something's calling LookAndFeel.provideErrorFeedback - this beeps by default. You could always try overriding this method in your LnF to dump the stack to find out what might be causing it:
public class MyLnF extends MetalLookAndFeel {
  public void provideErrorFeedback(Component comp) {
    Thread.dumpStack();
    super.provideErrorFeedback(comp);
}You never know, it might show you something useful...
