In JDK 1.1 the '_' was treated as a word break. Using CTRL-RIGHT stops before
'_' in the following example:

1    2

Starting with caret at position 1 and using CTRL-RIGHT results in caret
at 2.

In JDK 1.3 the '_' is treated as part of the word.

1                    2

Starting with caret at position 1 and using CTRL-RIGHT results in caret
at 2.

Has anyone noticed this?

Here is a sample program for you to try it out.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

public class SwingTextArea {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("SwingTextArea Test");

        frame.setContentPane(
            new JScrollPane(
                new JTextArea(
                    "Some word-with-dashes word_with_underscores for test.")));
        frame.setBounds(200,200, 400, 400);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
   
}
