I have a Jtable registered to a ListSelectionListener with row selection disabled and column selection enabled. I select the last column and then press F8 to set focus to header of first column. I next press Alt+Right Arrow key. The listener is being called even though the selection at the selected column has not changed in anyway.
Steps to reproduce
1)Execute the attached application.
2)select the last column.(which has header named as Living)
3)Press F8- focus appears on the first column header(First Name)
4)Press Alt+Right Arrow.
Expected
Column moves, but no ListSelectionevent should be trigged.
Actual
Column moves, and ListSelectionevent is trigged.(Please look at the SOPs for this)
I was able to reproduce this on mustang b71.
I am adding the test case (SimpleTableDemo.java) here so the
community on http://jdk.dev.java.net can see it:
