I googled a bit and found someone praising the broken way of setting a column size and warning against ignoring it and just using setPreferredSize as that would override it and not adapt to the font. This is actually what we want, so I would say we should try and do this everywhere in Utility. I also found something on Oracle website mentioning to call setPreferredSize on the JScrollPane containing the JTextArea. Its just that I found I've come to detest fiddling with getting all these GUI elements to look right, so it may take some time.
