But I think the behavior you are seeing is normal. I'm curious as to what you are re
ally trying to do with the result of the JTextComponent.modelToView() call? Best I can tell the purpose of that method is to facilitate cursors. knute...

I think I understand what you are trying to do but I don't know how to 
do it.  I looked through the docs a little bit but I'm not finding 
anything that looks promising.  The only thought I did have was to 
design a new component where you write to half of it as the input side 
and the other half as the output side.  You would have to do your own 
line wrap that way but it might be doable.

Sorry I wasn't more help.
