ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux augusta 3.19.0-26-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 11 14:16:32 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 670]
Nvidia binary driver: nvidia-355


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When creating a VolatileImage with size 0/0 (which does not throw an exception), there are surprising side effect:

All texts drawn on a graphics context do not longer show up.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Create a VolatileImage with size 0,0
- Draw a String on a graphics context (g2d.drawString)



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
IllegalArgumentException(?)
ACTUAL -
No exception is thrown.
Strings are no longer visible when using Graphics2D#drawString

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
 System.out.println("Java Version: " + System.getProperty("java.version"));

    GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    GraphicsDevice device = env.getDefaultScreenDevice();

    //if size is set to 0 the string is not visible in Linux (with nvidia binary driver)
    int size = 0;
    VolatileImage volatileImage = device.getDefaultConfiguration().createCompatibleVolatileImage(size, size); //This image is never used


    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    frame.getContentPane().add(new JComponent() {
      @Override
      protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);

        g.setColor(Color.RED);
        ((Graphics2D) g).drawString("Hello World", 10, 20);
      }
    });

    frame.setSize(800, 600);
    frame.setVisible(true);
