[Gambas-user] Problem with tableview when in edit mode

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Doriano,

from the sample project you posted, I can verify the behavior you described
when you use the arrow keys.
If you click on individual cells it jumps fine. But if you try and type
something on one cell and then click on the next one
the text you typed before disappears.

So perhaps a few more changes happened in the tableview control from 2.0 to
2.15 (the one you upgraded to) that are
not yet documented and you just might have to consider using a different
approach.

I use Debian Lenny 5.0.3 and Gambas 2.16

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Dimitris
