FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
not relevant

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When removing the indexInterval from 0 to maxSelection, the lead/anchor is
-1 for maxSelection > 0
0 for maxSelection == 0

This is inconsistent: in both cases we remove all possibly selected indices, so the lead/anchor should be the same in both. The correct (expected by me ;-) behaviour is to reset the lead/anchor to -1 (nothing selected, no lead, no anchor).

This is relevant in contexts where clients must keep the lead valid (f.i. in-bounds of the size of a listModel).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the unit test, the passing fixture is expected, the failing is not <g>

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
see above
ACTUAL -
see above

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
