>      Project: MyFaces ADF-Faces
>         Type: Bug

> Here is the code in the add(int index, Object element) method in org.apache.myfaces.adf.component.ChildArrayList class:
>  
>    if (child.getParent() != null) 
>    { 
>      index = __removeFromParent(child, index); 
>    } 
>    child.setParent(_parent); 
>    super.add(index, child); 
>  
> What it is trying to do is to add a new child (the child variable in the code) to this ChildArrayList, and automatically detach the new child from its old parent, if exists, by calling __removeFromParent. 
>  
> If you look into the __removeFromParent() method, you can find out that this chunk of code assumes that the old parent is identical to the new parent it is being added under, and __removeFromParent returns an adjusted index value according to this assumption. This assumption is not always right and this is causing problems. 
> One way of fixing this is:
>     Object oldParent = child.getParent();
>     if (oldParent != null)
>     {
>       int adjustedIndex = __removeFromParent(child, index);
>       //Only adjust the index when the child is re-added to the same parent
>       if (oldParent == _parent)
>       {
>         index = adjustedIndex; 
>       }
>     }
>     child.setParent(_parent);
>     super.add(index, child);
