Is this a stock data grid with no code added or are there any of your  
scripts that are processing data that is entered? If you have scripts  
can you tell us what they are doing?

The DeleteFieldEditor closes the field editor. It takes one boolean  
parameter: true will save data entered false will not. Out of  
curiosity, what is the sequence of events that requires closing the  
editor by script rather than waiting to save until the user presses  
return/enter or focus leaves the field?
