The problem is in this question:  What is the preferred size for the 
text area?  Should it be laid out as one very long line?  Or two lines 
that are more or less half that width.  Or 3, 4, or 5 lines that are 
thinner than that?

Since JTextArea has no way to answer that, it asks for a single line
a the maximum width.  So if you use a layout manager that will give the 
JTextArea its preferred size, that is what you will get.  You can fix 
this by changing the behavior of the layout manager.
