I have a JTable embedded in a JScrollPane.

Through code, I want to select a specific cell in the table and make sure
it scrolls into view.

Here is my code (note: my JTable only has one row, but a large number of
columns):

int index = 5; // column that I want to show

tblDiscContent.getColumnModel().getSelectionModel().
    setSelectionInterval(index, index);

scrollDiscContent.getViewport().scrollRectToVisible(
    tblDiscContent.getCellRect(
        0,tblDiscContent.convertColumnIndexToView(index), false));

The last statement should scroll the cell into view, but it doesn't. It
scrolls too far to the right, leaving my cell hidden to the left. The
amount of error does is not constant and depends on which cell I try to select.
