Could someone please give me the yea or the nay on the following AWT issue:

concerns: TextField, TextArea, TextListener

gist:
if I make a class that extends the TextField class, and add a TextListener,
then the corresponding textValueChanged() method is called when a key is
pressed when the text field has focus, and also when the TextField's
setText() method is called from code.

That's what I want.

Conversely (and here's my query), if I make a class that extends TextArea
and add a TextListener, textValueChanged() is NOT called when setText() is
called from code.

ie the TextListener seems to have different behaviour when added to
TextField and TextArea.

is this a bug? or a feature? or have I just messed up?


Thanks in advance for kind friendly helpful responses.
