Keep the over-ride as the default behaviour, and document it better. But if the app calls setMaximumSize or setMinimumSize() then honour it like you are supposed to. I suspect very few apps actually call these since they are complete no-ops today. If we do that, then yes, you'll still see differences if you do call those APIs and forgot about it because it didn't make a difference.

Do you mean this way https://openjdk.github.io/cr/?repo=jdk&pr=15325&range=01#sdiff-0-src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/JScrollBar.java what I had done in the initial iteration? I guess that change will still show the above problem during frame resize, where scrollbars are not rigid
