I have a TextArea inside JScrollPane inside standard JPanel.
JPanel panelMain = new JPanel();
panelMain.setBorder(titledBorder1);
panelMain.setBounds(new Rectangle(2, 5, 970, 700));
panelMain.setLayout(null);
JTextArea fieldBody = new JTextArea();
JScrollPane fieldBodyScrollPane = new JScrollPane(fieldBody);
fieldBodyScrollPane.setBounds(70, 140, 790, 500);
panelMain.add(fieldBodyScrollPane);
When I type enough text in a single row the horizontal knob appears - so far good. But when I start moving the knob left and right, the text gets blured (see image). Interestingly, nothing weird happens when I move the textarea up and down.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity. This graphic artifact never appeared to me before. Any hints what could be the problem?
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class CaseForLayoutsNumber547 {
CaseForLayoutsNumber547() {
Border titledBorder1 = new TitledBorder("Case for Layouts #547");
// START: code snippet variant
JPanel panelMain = new JPanel(new GridLayout());
panelMain.setBorder(titledBorder1);
JTextArea fieldBody = new JTextArea(5,40);
JScrollPane fieldBodyScrollPane = new JScrollPane(fieldBody);
panelMain.add(fieldBodyScrollPane);
// END: code snippet variant
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, panelMain);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new CaseForLayoutsNumber547();
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
I do not see any scroll artifacts in this SSCCE. Do you?
Here's @Andrew's SSCCE displaying itself; it looks the same with either Ambience or Radiance.

Addendum: Looking closer at your screenshot, failing to honor the opacity property can cause such rendering artifact, and the default setting may vary among Look & Feel implementations.
This problem happens in OpenJDK (6 and 7, at least; and at least on Linux), and does not happen in Oracle Java 6 and 7 (on Linux).
The workaround suggested by mKorbel works for me:
scrollPane.getViewport().setScrollMode(JViewport.SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE);
So I guess it's a bug in OpenJDK.
