i have _exactly_ the same problem. i already wasted hours to find a solution, but no luck.
i would be glad for any help!

while implementing my own CellEditor i found out, that getCellEditorValue() is called before the editable combox has "updated" the string. so getSelectedItem() still returns the old value but shortly after that it would return the right value!
somehow there should be a method like "combobox.stopEditing()" or something...

my example:
public class ComboBoxCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor { private static final long serialVersionUID = 4170056738609945778L; private JComboBox jcb; private ArrayList<String> choice; public ComboBoxCellEditor(ArrayList<String> choice) { this.choice = choice; } @Override public JComponent getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object item, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) { jcb = new JComboBox(choice.toArray()); jcb.setEditable(true); if (item != null) { jcb.setSelectedItem(item); } return jcb; } @Override public Object getCellEditorValue() { return jcb.getSelectedItem(); // change to return jcb.getEditor().getItem(); } }

EDIT: I found a solution! This does the trick:
public Object getCellEditorValue() { return jcb.getEditor().getItem(); }
