EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Also occurring on windows 7.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a TableView that has content added to it every 100ms or so, for about 5 or 10 minutes.

While that content is being added, if you aren't at the very top or very bottom of the table, the content scrolls a little bit each time an item is added.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the code below and watch the table

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The table does not scroll
ACTUAL -
The table scrolls slightly

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
