Read-only (non-editable) JTextArea – background color not updated
See original GitHub issueNot sure if this could be considered a bug as I’m seeing such behavior with at least one other L&F – Nimbus:
The background color of non-editable text-area doesn’t seem to reflect the actual background color used.
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.getBackground(); // editable background
textArea.setEditable(false);
textArea.getBackground(); // non-editable background
Using FlatLaf 0.38.

The reason for this is a “temporary” workaround in Swing:
