JTable: disable Pre selected row

hi there,

When a JTable is get displayed, it (automatically) pre-selects the top row (if setRowSelectionAllowed() is not set to false).
I need to have row selection enabled, but i want NO pre-selected row when the table is first displayed.

Thanks in advance.

What happens if you clear the selection? There is a nice method for that in JTable.

Actually, I load the data in to JTable while it is not displayed yet. After loading the data I do call clearSelection(). But when the table gets displayed, the top row is still selected/highlighted.

I've never noticed this problem. I don't see this behaviour in the demo from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Tables.

Post your SSCCE that demonstrates the problem.
