Editing a cell results in loss of cell formatting and the data to become "fixed"

If you have used "setCellFormat" then set the cell to be editable. Editing the cell results in the cell losing its formatting. Also, editing causes the cell data to become "fixed", and a reload of new data via "table.request" does not work for cells whose data has been edited, the old data remains!!

Is there a workaround or bug-fix for this behaviour?
