JTable cell not going away! SOLVED

venomation

SOLUTION: This works for me but I still do not know why it was behaving like that...

if (table.getCellEditor() != null) {
table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}

Was called when deleting the row, forcing the cell that is being edited to stop editing. PROBLEM: I have the following CellEditor that is used to validate cells on a column:

public class CellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {

protected TextField source = new TextField();
private ArrayList validators = new ArrayList();

public CellEditor WithValidation(IValidator validator) {
    validators.add(validator);
    return this;
}

public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {

    source.setText(String.valueOf(value));
    return source;
}

public Object getCellEditorValue() {
    return source.getText();
}

@Override
public boolean stopCellEditing() {
    String s = ((String) this.getCellEditorValue());
    if (s == null) {
        this.fireEditingCanceled();
        return false;
    }

    for (IValidator v : this.validators) {
        if (!v.isValid(s)) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, v.getErrorMessage());
            this.fireEditingCanceled();
            return false;
        }
    }
    return super.stopCellEditing();
}

}

And I attach the code to my table like this:

this.jTable1.getColumnModel()
.getColumn(0)
.setCellEditor(new loyaltyapp.validation.CellEditor()
.WithValidation(new TextLengthValidator(1, 12)));

When the second snippet of code is commented everything works as intended (but of course not including any validation)... The problem is that when I do attach the CellEditor to my table when I remove a row WHILE a cell is being edited the rest of the row gets deleted, leaving behind a rogue cell!

The problem is that when I do attach the CellEditor to my table when I remove a row WHILE a cell is being edited the rest of the row gets deleted, leaving behind a rogue cell! Then decide - Editing OR deleting. Can't have both. Is the system deleting the row or how is it done?
