Yes.  I thought it was fixed already, but I see that it is still 
happening in my local workspace.  I'll look into it again.

BTW, you can workaround this in the meantime by forcing a cell editor to 
be created, because once the grid has a child window then the 
optimization that causes this problem is not used.  Something like this:

	grid.EnableCellEditControl()
	grid.DisableCellEditControl()
