FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When painting with a gradient paint, which of course is sensitive to the painting coordinates, resetting the paint to the same LinearGradientPaint object after changes to the transform does not properly update the painting coordinates of the gradient.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the test case provided on 6u4 vs 6u10

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Teh red edges in the test case should always paint
ACTUAL -
The gradient location is not updated with the new transform coordinates so the painted area is not properly filled.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
change the paint to something different after the transform has changed, then back again.

Release Regression From : 6u4
The above release value was the last known release where this 
bug was not reproducible. Since then there has been a regression.
