NSControl question

[Andreas Hoeschler]

Hi all,

I just fixed a problem in my application that turned out to be caused 
by a difference in the behaviour of Cocoa and GNUstep. In the class 
NSControl we have

- (void) setObjectValue: (id)anObject
{
  NSCell *selected = [self selectedCell];

   [self abortEditing]; // <---------- what is this good for

  [selected setObjectValue: anObject];
  if (![selected isKindOfClass: actionCellClass])
    [self setNeedsDisplay: YES];
}

If I tab from one textField to another one then the second textField 
after getting its editor gets a setObjectValue: by my control 
association. This causes the editor to be removed again (--> bad). 
Cocoa sees no nessecity to remove the editor in setObjectValue: After 
removing this line on GNUstep my app worked as expected. However, I am 
wondering whether this leads to any other problems.

Any idea what this line is good for?

Thanks,

  Andreas
