Re: Adding fixed position content to a scrolled panel

I have a problem with a drawn panel which is embedded into a
JScrollPane. Most of the content needs to scroll with the pane, but I'd
also like to be able to add a small label at a fixed position in the
viewport.

It seems like I should be able to do this using the getVisibleRect()
function to see what we're looking at and moving the position of the
fixed component to compensate.

However when I do this I get odd effects. If I scroll by clicking on
the empty parts of the scroll bar everything works fine, but if I drag
the scrollbar handle or use the arrows at the end the fixed text scrolls
with the window, leaving a ghost trail behind it. I'm assuming this is
an optimisation the ScrollPane makes, but I've looked and can't find how
 to turn it off.

I've attached a short program which demonstrates this. Any suggestions
for how to get this working would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Simon.
