Unexpected IllegalArgumentExc during the test.
How to reproduce:
1) Run the test from Comments (I belive the test may be easily reduced) on Windows2000 with JDK6.0b45 (or b40). You would see a frame with JTable in it.
2) Press left mouse button on the bottom of the frame and drag mouse up on the screen till the frame become a title.  You should do it fast enough may be for several times.
3) You may also see an Exception if drag top border of the frame.
The exception is:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (592) and height (0) cannot be <= 0

Seems this exception doesn't occur with pure AWT testcase. Believe it's in 2D part of JDK.

N/A

I'm unable to reproduce this on my XP box.  Swing will not paint if the width/height of the component is <= 0, so I'm not sure how we end up trying to paint an empty content area.  Will try on win2k box in the lab.

I modified the test case to have a timer that asks for the graphics from the buffer strategy every second.  When I then shrink the window to a small height wise as possible I see the exception.
I see two options for fixing this:

. Force the size to always be > 0.
. If either size is < 1 don't create an image, and instead hand back a bogus Graphics.

Will consult with Chris as to the best approach.

This is a regression introduced in fixing 6245040.  In particular it was possible to try and create an image with a size <= 0, which will throw an exception.  The fix is to change the BltBuferStrategy to always create an image with a size > 0.
