A protected method is part of the public API contract, see [`BasicTextUI.getVisibleEditorRect`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicTextUI.html#getVisibleEditorRect()) in Java 24.

However, I say a CSR is not needed because the meaning hasn't changed.
