TableViewer.refresh(true, false) behaves as TableViewer.refresh(true, true)

The problem I met is that refresh(true, false) method of org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableViewer class behaves as refresh(true, true) on Linux platforms.

I found an opened bug for this case: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=414455 but the current SWT 4.3 stable version doesn't contain the fix.

To overcome this problem temporary (until SWT 4.4 is released) I used "SWT.MULTI" style bit during TableViewer creation.

I played with different styles, but it is the only way to avoid the problem. "SWT.NONE" didn't help as well because of the logic inside org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Tablet constructor which overwrites "style" parameter:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access

Recently, I've faced with SWTException error when was trying to insert a new TableItem into the SWT Table from another thread. Reading java doc about TableItem class I found out, that with creation a new instance of this class, SWTException may occurred:

Throws SWTException: if not called from the thread that created the parent

It means that I can't create a TableItem instance in the thread which is distinct from that one, in which Table was created.

I wrote a simple program to reproduce my problem: it's a window with one button and with a table which has a single column. When pressing the button a new thread is started. In this thread there's a cycle in which 5 table items are created with timed out = 1 sec.

Here's a code snippet, which represents a first attempt:
