Well, your code works fine. But even if I comment out the 
scrollRectToVisible line it still doesn't put the slider at the bottom. 
And I can't see any essential difference between your code and mine, apart 
from the fact that my JScrollPane is inside an inner pane, while yours is 
in the main frame - but surely this shouldn't make any difference? I'll 
play around tomorrow (it's UK time here so getting late) and see what 
happens.
