I have an explanation which is not really
a solution. Basically the behavior of the mouse is a little different
that the keyboard. As you noticed, when the mouse presses down an
animation starts to show the selection. I believe that event processing
is deferred until after that animation finishes. After the mouse is
released the change event is fired and binding updates. The keyboard
doesn't have the same animation so it appears faster. If you hold
down the mouse on a selection for a moment, then release, you'll see the
update happens very quickly (about the same as the keyboard click).
I'll file a usability bug that
points out the difference. I'm not sure what the cost would be to
address it (maybe you can't have the selection animation if you want a
fast response).

First select the list to update the inputs
below.
Change the selected item using the keyboard.
See that the inputs are updated instantaneously.
Now using a quick mouse click, change the
selection.
See that it takes about half second to update
the inputs.

Marco,
Sounds a bit strange; perhaps you can post a small
bit of code
that demonstrates your problem ?
Best,
