Vanilla OOo is correct here. Control listeners are expected to be called only when any user interaction is involved, or programmatic access to the control (e.g. when you call ListBox.selectItem or some such). Changes to the *control model* shall *not* trigger control listeners. This rule has been settled quite some years ago, sad to see that obviously the Ubuntu version adds some patches to OOo which violate this rule.
