Perhaps this is because there is no "save" event implemented. But the 
complain was about another error: even without writing, but simply 
changing the focused cell with the cursor keys, do you see something 
strange or not?

Which different approach? I would like to identify the cause of this 
problem. If it is gambas 2.15, and gambas 2.16 or 2.17 solves, I switch. 
If all gambas versions above 2.0.0 have the problem, I stick with 2.0.0. 
If the problem are QT libraries, I change them. But surely I don't want 
to change a painful code made to compile an invoice through a tableview 
with something else...

...it would help if you told me if the error is still there in 2.16 or 
not...
BTW: my debian version (cat /etc/debian_version) shows 5.0.2, and is 
fully updated. How it goes you have 5.0.3?
