Name: Morphic-mt.1639 Author: mt Time: 2 April 2020, 9:57:01.627769 am UUID: f6179063-73e6-7d47-b156-db672067b49a Ancestors: Morphic-eem.1638
Fixes some unnecessary visual updates in lists, which caused extra (maybe expensive) model access:
(1) Menu invocation for list items should first check whether to update the selection and then ask the model #okToChange. (2) Avoid scrolling to the selection to be visible if there is no change in the selection index. Only make users aware of changes. Models can still force such scrolling with de-selecting and immediately selecting an item. --- If list contents changed, the list filter got updated and tried to re-select the same element in the (maybe filtered) list. That caused the redunant updates and scrolling. (3) To make (2) work, the must not clear the selectedRow in LazyListMorph because PluggableListMorph has no own tracking of the selected row.
