JScrollPane not working with JTextArea

Hello,

I have a very simple class generated in Idea.  It has a JPanel, containing a JScrollPane which has the JTextArea set as it's view port.  This class implements ActionListener so that events can be fired to it to insert text into the JTextArea.  The problem that I have is that no matter what I do, the JTextArea will not show it's scroll bar when the text goes past the viewable area in the JTextArea.  I've done quite a bit of looking around on this and found somebody who said that I shouldn't set the MinimumSize and the PreferredSize on the JTextArea.  Well, the problem that I have is that Idea inserts those values automatically and I haven't found a way to switch them off to test to see if that's the problem.  My questions are:

1.  Is there a way to tell idea to stop auto inserting those fields via the setupUI method?
2.  Given the code below, does anybody see something that jumps out that may explain what is going on?  

Thanks,
Thomas
