TextArea Bug?

[Soda]

Whenever I size a textarea, the text does not display when I use either setText or append. This only happens when I specify the size of the textarea.

Quote:

JTextArea t = new JTextArea(50,50);

t.append("Hello");

^ Code is something like that. Its suppose to display "Hello", but since I had specify the size, it wont display.

Why is it like that? Is there a way to display it with a specified size for the textarea?

Put your textArea inside a JScrollPane so it can be displayed at the size you specify.
