[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Windows fires SelectionEvent on tree.set

[Fabian Zeindl <fabian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another strange problem: When I remove the SelectionListener right 
before the setSelection and add it afterwards it still gets called when 
calling setSelection. Why is that?
I don't know whether this helps, but the SelectionListener gets called 
_after_ the method which calls setSelection finished. The method itself 
is a ModifyListener.
