FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A JTable uses an editable JComboBox as editor. When typing text in the combo box and stopping the editor by clicking in another editable cell of the JTable, the text is not committed.

May be JDK-8032878 is a hint?

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the code appended as executable test case.
Click into the cell "Key 2", select the text and type "Foo" in there.
Click into the cell "Value 2".

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
"Foo" should be the value of the cell in (0, 1).
ACTUAL -
The value of cell (0, 1) is "Key 2".

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
