Running the following code throws the IndexOutOfBoundsException shown below:

public class ChoiceBoxSelect extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        VBox vbox = new VBox(10);

        final ChoiceBox<String> cb = new ChoiceBox<String>();
        Button b = new Button("Populate ChoiceBox");
        b.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
                ObservableList<String> items = FXCollections.observableArrayList("one", "two", "three");
                cb.setItems(items);
                cb.getSelectionModel().select(0);
            }
        });

        vbox.getChildren().addAll(cb, b);

        Scene s = new Scene(vbox, 300, 400);
        stage.setScene(s);
        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ChoiceBoxSelect.launch(args);
    }
}
