I'd just like to add a "me too" here. I've also experienced this problem in v2.4.2 and it's pretty annoying. I too have not yet been able to find a way to fix it without breaking things worse...

If you are editing a cell, and click in the "blank" portion of the grid window where there are no cells, your editor will reset itself to the previous value of the grid. If the cell isn't visible on screen, then odd things happen - it looks like you drop out of editing mode, but the control stays created and visible.
The problem is that when a Mouse LeftUp event occurs thats not within a cell, ShowCellEditor is called. This is because the editor is hidden in most cases, to allow for resizing. ShowCellEditor calls editor->StartEdit, which re- initializes the editor.
I tried working around this in ShowCellEditor but couldn't find a solution that didn't break all editor initilization in general, and it wouldn't solve the second symptom anyway.
I'm not really sure how to go about not calling ShowCellEditor unless it's needed, that part of the code is pretty complicated. If I can figure it out I'll post a patch, but figured I'd post this in the meantime in case anyone else wants to look at it.
