@prrace has a good point here. I had to review the JBS and changes to really understand the issue. I guess the point is, why does model's removeIndexInterval not do what it should do here? 

Visually clearSelection fixes the issue, but removeIndexInterval explicitly updates the states of the indexes in the method's body. clearSelection instead calls removeSelectionInterval which might do the same in a roundabout way.

I ran some tests on my end, and I still believe this fix is probably OK. It's just maybe better to explain more in depth why clearSelection is a suitable replacement for the removeIndexInterval block.
