A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JList will extend the selection if an item is inserted at the low end of the selection. For example, if a JList contains 5 items with item number 3 selected and new item is inserted at index 2 (item number 3's index), the selection will now be both item number 3 and the new item. The problem arises when I want to select the new item (with JList.setSelectedValue(...)), the selection will not change because the ListSelctionModel recognizes that the new item is already selected. In order to get this desire behavior. I have to:
1. add the new item
2. clear the selection with JList.clearSelection()
3. then set the selection for the new item with JList.setSelectedValue(...)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a JList component
2. Select an item in the list
3. Insert a new item at the index of the selection
4. Use JList.setSelectedValue(...) to select the new item

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Only the new item should be selected.
ACTUAL -
Both the previously selected and the new item are selected.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
