🚀 go-pugleaf

Thank you! This is much more straightforward.
However, there's a problem:

For some reason, when the combo box appears in the cell and I click the
drop-down button, the list only displays for the lower rows in the table.

The rule seems to be that unless the combo-box drop-down list hangs outside
the application frame - it doesn't show. I can demonstrate it by dropping
down the list in a lower cell (where it shows), then stretching down the
application frame and clicking the combo box again - this time the list
doesn't appear. Is this a bug?

I got the same problem when I used my own TableCellEditor, and assumed I was
doing something wrong. But now I've replaced it with your 3-line solution,
the problem is still there.

Thanks again,
Yael.
