FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Left edge painting of JProgressBar is changing X-anchor when doing setValue(2) vs setValue(1).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Sample code below creates a frame with a progress bar linked to a slider. There's also an sout to print current slider value. Slide and observe progress bar painting behaviour around values 0, 1 and 2.

You can easily change LF. Works perfect under System LF.

Create project with namespace progressbarTest in your IDE, paste in the source code given below in file ProgressBarTest.java. Build and run.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Painting of progress bar (orange) should stay within the valid rectangle. Seems to work for all values except '1'. Values '0', and '2-100' are ok.
ACTUAL -
JProgressBar setValue(1) has min X value too small, i.e. the orange painting is too far to the left.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
