TreeListener is not notified when TreeItem.setExpanded is called [message #437849]

I instantiate a Tree and call Tree.addTreeListener() in order to listen
for expansion and collapsing. My listener is notified in case of events
caused by mouse and keyboard.
I also expect to get a notification when TreeItem.setExpanded() method is
called, which does not really happen. I this a feature or a bug?

This is by design.

Could you please specify on which platform you are running? Under
Windows XP i get notifications when i call setExpanded(true). I have to
remove the listener and then readd it to avoid getting this notifications.

I there a reason for such design?

It is a bug. Can you enter a bug report with some code that shows the
problem? Thanks.

Yes.

There are 2 options: either call the callback or don't. If the callback is
always called, then those people who wish to avoid the callback for
performance reasons and to avoid multiple updates when the API that causes
the callback is called multiple times must either remove and add the
listeners or implement a stacking 'ignore' flag. If the callback isn't
called, then those people who want it called can call their own internal API
to do the work that the callback would do when they call the API. There is
no right answer but the second one is potentially faster and easier for
people who want to work around it.
