I would like to detect when editing _begins_ in a table cell. Unfortunately,
the CellEditor only fires events on stop or cancel editing.

I tried  the following with no luck:

1. Create a JdbTextField and register a listener on focusGained.
2. Create DefaultCellEditor, passing the JdbTextField to the constructor.
3. Call setItemEditor to the DefaultCellEditor for the Column in question.

As far as I can tell, the event never fires. Is this the right approach? Any
other ideas? TIA.

Ok, I've refined the problem a bit. The event _is_ firing when editing is
started by double-clicking on the cell. However if editing is starting by
typing, then the event does not fire. How strange is that?

Basically all I'm trying to do is to call selectAll when editing begins.
Seems like it should be a pretty simple thing to do.
