caret

I have a JeditorPane which has some text in HTML format. When I execute the following command

int len = editorPane.getText().length();

The value for len is 7473. But then I try to do the following:

editorPane.setCaretPosition(4995);

And I get the following exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bad position: 4995

My understanding is that I should only get this exception if the position at which I'm trying to set the caret is less than 0 or greater than the text length. It is neither. How can this be.

Thank you,

Elliott
