Dual displays drive jEdit nuts

This bug is in Windows XP. I'm using v4.2final and the latest java from Sun, but the problem is also in the newest v4.3.
When I use jEdit on a dual-display system and the secondary monitor has a higher resolution than the primary monitor, jEdit goes nuts. The problem occurs every time when I connect an external monitor (1280x1024) to my laptop (1024x768), extend my desktop onto the second monitor, and put a jEdit window on the monitor. jEdit has problems displaying the screen, and often lines don't get updated unless the window is scrolled.
The problem can be fixed by setting the external monitor as the primary display, and then extending the desktop onto the laptop screen...
