When setting the model, the list view will first emit the countChanged signal, then will change the currentIndex to 0 (see QtDeclarative git commit 22c6873 and https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-26604), and finally will emit the modelChanged signal. If we set the currentIndex in the onCountChanged handler (as we were doing before), the currentIndex would be reset to 0 shortly afterwards. For some mysterious reason, the desired delegate was anyway shown until the bugfix for bug 1433442 was introduced; with that bugfix, the listview is more consistent and shows the delegate corresponding to the currentIndex. Fixes: #1433442
