I have a subclassed NSControl that among other things hold a NSTexFieldCell (textCell). When editing of the the cell, using the standard field editor, is ended, this textDidEndEditing: method gets invoked:

- (void) textDidEndEditing:(NSNotification*) notification
{
   NSTextView* e   = [notification object];
   NSString*   str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [e string]];

   [textCell setStringValue:str];
   [textCell endEditing:e];

   NSLog(@"New  textCell=%@", [textCell stringValue]);

   [e setString:@""];

   NSLog(@"Done textCell=%@", [textCell stringValue]);

   ...
}

The spooky part, or at least so I believe, is the [e setString:@""] call, i.e. the field editor contents is supposedly cleared, BUT the textCell's string value is ALSO cleared (actually it is set to the same value as the field editor is set to). Here is NSLog output (editing the text cell twice)

First of all, why do you reset the value of the field editor?
