JDK-4302560 - AsynchronousMovement property of DefaultCaret not accessible
Description
Loading a file causes into Notepad causes the viewport to scroll to the
end to keep the caret visible.  While this might be desirable for some
situations, this is not typical behavior for loading files and there is
no apparent way to disable this.

EVALUATION The caret position is always updated as a result of modifications to the model. For things like groupware and log displays, this is a good thing. For things like loading a file on a different thread, this is different than what people are used to. This has been changed so that a property called AsynchronousMovement can be set on DefaultCaret to control whether or not updates from threads other than the event thread are allowed to update the caret position. timothy.prinzing@eng 1998-07-18
