Steps to reproduce (in common case)
1. select some element from dropdown.
2. using addition button, add some element BEFORE (by order, by position) selected item.
3. note, whether selected item in ComboBox changed or not.

Testcase:

import com.javafx.preview.control.ComboBox;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.Event;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ButtonBuilder;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.control.TextFieldBuilder;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Issue1 extends Application {

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

    final ComboBox testedComboBox = new ComboBox();

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        Pane pane = new Pane();
        pane.setPrefHeight(200);
        pane.setPrefWidth(200);

        pane.getChildren().add(testedComboBox);

        VBox vb = new VBox();
        vb.getChildren().addAll(pane, getAddItemHBox());
        Scene scene = new Scene(vb, 400, 400);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    private HBox getAddItemHBox() {
        HBox hb = new HBox();
        Label lb = new Label("Add item");
        final TextField tf = TextFieldBuilder.create().prefWidth(50).build();
        Label atLb = new Label("at pos");
        final TextField tfPos = TextFieldBuilder.create().prefWidth(50).build();
        Button bt = ButtonBuilder.create().text("Add!").build();
        bt.setOnAction(new EventHandler() {

            public void handle(Event t) {
                int index = Integer.parseInt(tfPos.getText());
                ((ComboBox) testedComboBox).getItems().add(index, tf.getText());
            }
        });
        hb.getChildren().addAll(lb, tf, atLb, tfPos, bt);
        return hb;
    }
