[TextFieldTableCell] (and others) to cancel or commit edit on focus lost causes new cell to be edited

XMLWordPrintable

      Test case attached. When using these cells (I have same problem with ChoiceBox) there is no way to trap the focus lost and cancel/commit the edit.
      - Click on a cell.
      - Click on the button to loose the focus.
      - Observe that the edited cell is no more the one that was edited.

      In the testcase I am modifying the table content on focus lost, the table becomes inconsistent. Should the table protect itself against such an inconsistent state?


      As a workaround I tried to develop my own TextFieldCell cell but to have a properly behaving cell you need to duplicate CellUtils and TextFieldTableCell code, so I have duplicated a bunch of code to plug a simple focus listener.

      These cells should expose the embedded piece of UI for customisation.
