The creation of the objects was done in the EDT but if memory serves me well (it's been a while since I hunted that down) this was also caused when adding listeners. The order in which certain events were dispatched to the listeners were completely different. I'm not talking about multiple listeners on the same event. Those were different types of listeners.
