The example below has a custom TableCell that wants to style itself based on data in another column (the "real" use-case is at SO https://stackoverflow.com/q/46290417/203657). It does so in its updateItem. Which must be called whenever the underlying item changed in any way - but isn't if the change is an update.

To reproduce, run and click the checkbox in the second column
- expected: background of first column in same row is changed
- actual: nothing happens

Not certain if this is a regression somehow (even if technically it can't ;) maybe introduced when virtualizing the row - because I seem to (very) vaguely remember that in earlier versions there was no problem ... mere speculation;) And didn't try yet to nail the exact location.

The example:
