Hello,

I am working with a JTextField which contains a string of text
that is too long to be displayed completely. When the JTextField
loses focus, the end portion of the text is displayed.
I would like to have the beginning of the text displayed when losing focus.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Aaron

Add a FocusListener to the JTextField and on focusLost(), call
setCaretPosition( 0 );
