de a short code snippet to illustrate the problem. The issue is happening w=
ell AFTER I load the employee names from disk. The delay is happening right=
 after I setSelectedIndex(3) on the jcombobox..

You don't show that code. Why not?


Really?

Really?

Okay.

Same as any other method.

You should learn the very basic basics of Java before programming with it.
Overriding methods is far more basic than Swing programming.

public class Employee implements Comparable

// Dude! 'Comparable' is a generic type! DO NOT USE RAW TYPES!

 <Employee>
{
         private int id; // should be final

// Far too much indentation for Usenet. 2 to 4 spaces per level.

         private String name; // should be final

    /**
     * Javadoc comments go here!
     */
         public Employee(int id, String name) {
             this.id = id;
             this.name = name;
         }

    /**
     * Javadoc comments go here!
     */
         public String getName() {
             return name;
         }

    /**
     * Javadoc comments go here!

         public int getId() {
             return id;
         }

    /**
     * Javadoc comments go here!
     */
         public int compareTo(Employee emp) {
             return getName().compareTo(emp.getName());

// this will throw NullPointerException when getName() returns null
// or when emp == null
// Careless.
         }

    /**

      }
      if (! (obj instanceof getClass()))

        return false;
      }
      Employee other = (Employee) obj;

    }

    @Override
