Answer 1

You modified the graphics context by setting a stroke, and subsequent methods such as paintBorder() use the same context and thus inherit all modifications you made.

Solution: clone the context, use it for painting and dispose it afterwards.

Code:

// derive your own context  
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
// use context for painting
...
// when done: dispose your context
g2d.dispose();
