2. Select a row from the table
3. Clear the table

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Add rows to jTable
2. select a row
3. clear table
4. fireTableDataChanged(); method

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
rows would be removed from jTable
ACTUAL -
