Description
Run the attached small example. It creates a java.awt.List and selects an item (two items, in fact, but it doesn't matter) programmatically via list.select(index). 
You will see in the log an ItemEvent with ITEM_STATE_CHANGED type. Well, 2 events but it doesn't matter either.

Spec says: Programmatically calling this method will _not_ trigger an ItemEvent.

Comments
EVALUATION

we should skip generating of the event when selection is programmatically changed
