🚀 go-pugleaf

hmm.. if the textarea is only one line, i'd guess the scrollpane would be
set to flowlayout. if you must have the flow layout, you can set the
preferred size of the textarea. if you set the scrollpane's layout to
border, the textarea should fill the entire right half of the panel. if you
want to have space between the textarea and the edge of the panel, use a
gridbag layout for the main panel and set insets for the scrollpane's side
of the grid.
