Hmmm... then there are some other things which must also corrected.
For example the text in the Message-Dialogs (like Error-Massage) is in the 
old Classpath (until 0.18) right-justified. In the actual Classpath (0.19) 
it is centered and in Suns Java it is left-justified.
I think the actual centered version looks better like Suns version. But as 
you said, then the Classpath-version is wrong.

An additional problem with the ScrolbarDemo (which is a bug) is, that the 
four scrollbars on the top of the demo are changing the size by changing the 
size of the window in GNU Classpath. But in Suns Java version, which seems 
to be the right one, there chnage also all Scroolbar the size only the four 
at the top not.
But I can not send bug-report because I don't know how to do it.

A additional bug is with programs which have instead a
  public class myClass extends JFrame {}
a
  public class myClass extends JPanel {}
or
  public class myClass extends JApplet {}

If in this Class is a Button for example and clicked it or a Scrollbar and 
moves it or so, you can't see any action.
It seems, that the program don't react to your input. But if you move a 
window temporaly over your Java-window or move it temporaly outside the 
screen you can see after that the change - in GNU Classpath.
Suns Java-Version react direct. There is no different between a program with 
JFrame, JPanel and JApplet.

And at the last, I wanted to mention, that it would be nice, if anybody 
integrates the JFileChooser in dem Swing-Demo program.
In the Demo-program is nearly all in: Scroolbars, Buttons, ColorChooser and 
so on. Only JFileChooser isn't.
