Inline tableview editing problem (table doesn't end editing)

I have a table view in a Cocoa (Java) application that allows the user to add rows to it. When a new row is added, the cell at that row (and at a predetermined column) is made editable and it's contents selected. This is accomplished by a call to editLocation() However, after the user finishes editing by pressing return, the cell does not end editing. I would like to deselect the cell and take it out of editing mode when the user presses return or tabs out of the field. I tried various delegate and notification hooks to coerce it and the field editor but nothing quite worked. Perhaps, I am overlooking something simple or perhaps I should use something other than editLocation() to begin editing of the cell in the first place?

BTW - Most of the example apps that I've looked at don't use in-line editing on table views. Instead, when a row is added, they use a modal panel to get user input.

NSTableView

public void editLocation(int columnIndex, int rowIndex, NSEvent theEvent, boolean flag)

I also found this statement in NSCell's "editWithFrameInView()" documentation:

"Its the responsibility of the delegate to end editing when responding to textShouldEndEditing. In doing this, it should remove any data from textObj."

I tried asking the cell to endEditing() within textShouldEndEditing but that didn't work either.

Ideas? Bug?
