Had a similar issue while using a JTree, where programmatic nodes modifications generated events as if user had clicked on the tree, such as I had to override and disable a few JTree treatments to avoid triggering a wave of undesired side effects.

That’s why in some framework I´m working on, the only events are those from input devices (keyboard, etc.) and windowing, views don’t generate any and are just here to paint the state and indicate to the controller where things are on the screen.
