You probably mean, editing (not edition).

I have a NSOutlineView. One of the column data cell of this view is a text field cell which is potentially editable.


Now, if I return nil in

- (id) outlineView:(NSOutlineView *) inOutlineView objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *) inTableColumn byItem: (id) inItem

You probably don't want to do that; you should return an item. The returned value is set to the objectValue on the cell at that row/column.




and then later set the string value (through setStringValue:) in

- (void) outlineView:(NSOutlineView *) inOutlineView willDisplayCell: (NSCell *)cell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *) inTableColumn item: (id) inItem

there's a very weird behavior with leaf rows:

When I select them (first click, it's not like the default behavior in 10.5), the text field cell automatically enters edition mode without even asking the opinion of

- (BOOL) outlineView:(NSOutlineView *) inOutlineView shouldEditTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *) inTableColumn item:(id)inItem

First off -- 10.4 *requires* a double click to begin an editing session. Are you sure you aren't manually starting the editing by calling - (void)editColumn:(NSInteger)column row:(NSInteger)row withEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent select:(BOOL)select;


In fact, you can break on that method and see when it is invoked, and look at the bt to figure out why.




Is it a bug or just an unsupported scenario?

I don't think it should happen the way you described, see the notes above. Really, you should return non-nil from the method. I have a feeling something else is going on.
