Problem solved :-)
It seems that something similar to a race condition happened as i was
changing both the data provider AND the item renderer at the same time.
The solution is to use call later in the switch method:
pseudo:
switch()
{
list.dataProvider = aDataProvider ;
callLater(switchRenderer,[theRenderer]) ;
}
