JTextField suddenly too small

Question

Screenshot:

The textfield always worked fine, but suddenly was too small. You can still enter text, and when clicking the Print textJOptionPane.

I also tried both

JTextField tfld = new JTextField(10);

and

JTextField tfld = new JTextField("test adlfjsdlfjasdf");

but neither one helped.

This is probably due to your layout manager. Can you post a Short, [Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example](http://sscce.org/)? — Reimeus, Apr 27 '13 at 12:32

Sounds like you are using a GridBagLayout. This happens on components that don't have a reasonable minimum size.
