Bug Description:
  Editable JComboBox remove should not clear editor

  Currently the Editable JComboBox is inconsistent.
  When the editor has a value that is not in the list removeItem will
  leave the item unchanged (as it should).
  However removeAllItems will clear the editor. Both removeItem and
  removeAllItems should leave the editor item unchanged.

  This bug seems to have been inserted (on purpose) because of bug report:
  4425351. It appears that there is a lot of confusion in that bug report
  and others what the correct behaviour should be. With non editable
  combo boxes obviously remove should be clearing the editor item however
  here we are talking about editable combo boxes. Some of the evaluators
  commented that they are not sure if it should be clearing the editor or not.

  The idea of the editable combo box is that the editor can hold values
  that are not in the list, which can be used to add / modify existing values.

  The problem gets worse when using formatters as the editor as
  removeAllItems now attempts to set the editor to null which is illegal
  for many formatters.

Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
   - type something into the editor that does not exist in the list
     press Remove All Items (the editor is cleared, but it shouldn't be [this
     is a problem])
  - type something else into the editor that does not exist in the list
    press Remove Item (the editor is not cleared, even though the list might
    be empty [this is fine])
  - type something else into the editor that does not exist in the list
    press Add Item
    press Remove Item (the editor is cleared, but it shouldn't be [this is
    also a problem])
