You may be running into an issue with the LayoutManager altering the
columns/width. For instance, if you are placing your JTextField in the North
panel of a BorderLayout, the columns are ignored and the component is stretched
across the screen.

To avoid this, place your JTextField in a Panel/JPanel and then add the JPanel
to the same place. This will preserve your desired width.

Keep in mind that the columns is just for visual width, not for number of
characters in component.
