using aoColumns breaks editable functionality when used with row grouping

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've had a ton of trouble trying to use this plugin in combination with row 
grouping, as copy-pasted from 
http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/advanced_init/row_grouping.htm
l . 

If I don't specify aoColumns it works fine, but if I use aoColumns, I can click 
on cells and it seems like I can edit them, but when I click away the text is 
not saved, and the sUpdateURL function is not performed.

See example file attached, where two tables have row grouping, one has 
makeEditable with no aoColumns, and one has aoColumns.

Hi,

Could you try with the row grouping plugin? On the page 
http://jquery-datatables-editable.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rowGrouping.html I 
have shown that these are working togehter.

Hmmm... OK I figured out what the problem is. and indeed it doesn't have 
anything to do with row grouping.

It seems that the behaviour of the input and textarea widgets are slightly 
different. With an input, you can press Enter or click away from the item and 
it will be submitted. With textarea, if you press Enter, of course you get a 
newline as you would like. But clicking away from the item, instead of 
submitting it like the input does, seems to just be like "escape". To actually 
submit it, you need to specify in the aoColumns: 

 { type: 'textarea',
   submit  : 'OK',},

instead of just 

 { type: 'textarea', },

then you will get an "OK" button you can click to actually submit.

Frustrating. >:|
