JTextPane(continued)

Question

Hi, I have read the post about the JTextPane wrapping and it works fine. However, when I load a file that has a lot of characters (29,000+)
and I want to display them on one line, it wraps the characters in a paragraph of lines and creates big blank spaces at its sides(I can still scroll, there's just nothing written). I am wondering if there is a setting that would force a single line to be continued endlessly with a horizontal ScrollBar.
Thanks.

I'm running JDK1.3 on windows 98. The requestFocus() method does not work unless it is executed after the JFrame is shown. Maybe this is your problem. The following sample program will help illustrate this.
1) run the program as is. Focus should be on the text area as you select a tab.
2) Comment out the 'newTab' methods in the main method. Uncomment the 'newTab' methods in the constructor. This time focus will remain on the tab as you select it.
Hope this helps.
