Hi,
I seem to have a strange problem , I have a jdesktop pane on which i have a panel
absolutely positioned…
on this panel i have a label … both the panel and the label have a color of (0,0,0,100) alfa
the problem is simple … every time i update the text on the label , the prev text is not erased…
instead the new text gets overlayed on the prev text…
i might be missing something really …really stupid ((after all its 4 am right now. and i cant really sleep b4 solving this. 
. 
))
so …what am i missing???
