Answer 1

The problem might be the layout manager you're using.

You have a GridBagLayout for all the components. Try adding the bottom component in their own panel instead of align them with the history text area.

Something like:

JScrollPane history = new JScrollPane( new JTextPane() );

JPanel inputClearSavePane = new JPanel();
// layout the input, clear save button

getContentPane().add( history );
getContentPane().add( inputClearSavePane, BorderLayout.SOUTH );

And see if that helps. edit

BTW, it works on Mac

Linux

And windows:
