textarea not updating - but insert does OK

[John Studarus <st...@jhlconsulting.com>]

  I'm noticing an interesting behavior where the data of a 
textarea is not being displayed in the GUI when it is set 
in java code.  The listener of a button updates the textarea 
but it never shows up in the GUI.  However, if I use an Insert 
then all is well.  What might I be doing wrong?  Seems somewhat 
straight forward, might this be a bug in the in/out properties 
of the TextArea object?  Ideas?
