Known problem.

The fix is to use the key event and place the following (this is
discussed in CONTROLS.ZIP at my website among all the HOW TO
documents):

   function key
      /*
          This code by Gary White is provided to
          get around a problem with rowsets that
          have the autoEdit property set to false,
          and editors. The editor seems to be immune
          to this property once you make a change
          in it -- if you then save or abandon, you
          can actually edit the contents of the editor
          object ... 
      */
      // this     = editor
      // dataLink = field
      // parent   = fieldArray
      // parent   = rowset
      if type( "this.datalink.parent.parent" ) # "U"
         r = this.datalink.parent.parent
         if r.autoEdit == false  and ;
            ( r.state # 2 and r.state # 3 )
            return 0
         endif
      endif
