Honestly I don't know if this is can be considered a bug. The reason why
Classpath behaves like the JDK now in this case is that I implemented
the same scrolling algorithm as in the JDK (based on a double buffer).
It is simply not defined what should be visible if the viewport is
scrolled 'outside' the view area. What you see there is the old content
of the double buffer.

Again, I wouldn't think that this is a bug but merely a replication of
the original Metal L&F.

Please file this as a bug report if you haven't already.

Thanks for your comments. If you feel we should fix the first bug (that
would be possible since we are talking about a not-specified area),
please also file a bug report.
