JSplitPane divider appears too large under 1.4

Question

I just tried my code in 1.4, and the divider of my JSplitPane starts at about 100 pixels wide. If I grab and move it, it resets to the right size. This only happens under 1.4. I've tried explicitly setting the size, but it still initially appears huge.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Well, I've tried all your creative ideas (many thanks) - I even updated my JVM (jre 1.4b92 windows) to be sure I didn't have an old beta jvm, but nothing worked.
However, I did find a short term hack - something that will likely bite me later. The following code is executed when a window event is triggered. Then 3 seconds later, the revalidate() is called, followed by a JFrame revalidate() and repaint(). (Sense a little frustration here?) Bottom line, I have a working hack - for now. I'll pay for my sins later....

* @todo fix this for real - this is a hack for JDK 1.4. It is not needed in JDK 1.3
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable()
public void run()
try
Thread.sleep(3000);
}catch(Exception e){}
spPages.setDividerSize(10);
spPages.revalidate();
validate();
repaint();
System.out.println("TICKxxx");
thread.start();
