This is about Solaris IMF .. I think we don't need to worry about it any more.

And even better it was resolved in 1.5 under this bug id which I guess was still open when this doc was written

This bug was about some off-screen image problem with JScrollBar
It was closed as a dup of 4417287 which was fixed in 1.4

So in summary it is wrong to keep these linked bugs in here.
Remove the lot of them

Let's not point to web archives
https://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-008-2012_E.pdf seems like a better option. 
Perhaps @bplb has another idea.
