Created attachment 141158 [details] Small demo application to reproduce behavior In my application i have a special String property that is displayed inside an OutlineView. The value of this property shoud be selected by a Combobox. The user should not be allowed to enter any undefined text. So i tried to set "canEditAsText" to Boolean.FALSE for this property. But this has no effect in ComboInplaceEditor (that is automatically used to edit this property), because ComboInplaceEditor has a build in auto-complete-mechanism that sets the combobox to be editable. See connect(PropertyEditor pe, PropertyEnv env) method of ComboInplaceEditor: ... setEditable(editable || isAutoComplete); ... ComboInplaceEditor seems to take care of this auto-complete-mechanism in its getValue() method. But if the user enters any text that is not contained in the Combobox (selItem == -1) and strictAutoCompleteMatching == true then getSelectedItem() is returned. Which again contains the user entered text! See attachment for a small demo application.
