Expected behavior: The text is shown

Actual behavior: Throws exception and text is never shown

Was it working before? If so, what was changed?

This is the first time that we tested it.

To Reproduce:

Run Bug with a value like 40000 - it happens *EVERY* time.  We've tried
values down to 33000 and it still happens.

It's caused by bugs in javax.swing.text.GlyphView.java - which uses a short
to represent the offset and length into a Document.  However if you set the
document with text that is 32767 or less characters the problem never occurs.

There is no workaround other than not setting text that long !!

Standalone Test Case:

 import javax.swing.*;
 
 public class Bug {
    /** Run with a number indicating the number of characters in the string **/
    public static void main(String aArgs[])
      throws Throwable {
      if (aArgs.length != 1) {
         System.err.println("Usage: Bug [No of characters]");
         System.exit(1);
       }
 
       int lLength = Integer.parseInt(aArgs[0]);
 
       JFrame lFrame = new JFrame("TestMe");
 
       JTextPane lText = new JTextPane();
       lText.setEditable(false);
       lText.setOpaque(false);
       lFrame.getContentPane().add(lText);
       lText.setText(getText(lLength));
       lFrame.setSize(500, 500);
       lFrame.setVisible(true);
    }
 
    private static String getText(int aLen) {
       StringBuffer lBuff = new StringBuffer();
       while (aLen > 6) {
          lBuff.append("12 21 ");
          aLen -= 6;
       }
       while (aLen > 0) {
          lBuff.append("a");
          aLen--;
       }
       return lBuff.toString();
    }
 }
