A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a JTable where a cell is being edited, the cell edit remains active and sensitive to user input after calling setEnabled(false) on the JTable.

A JTextField behaves as expected and cancels ongoing edits.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile & run included code.

Press Toggle to toggle enabled state of the table and textfield.

Make sure the table is enabled

* start an edit in a tablecell
* press toggle (to disable the components)
* now continue the edit - should not be possible





REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :

Explicitly call cancelCellEditing if active.
