editing nodes in JTree, icon problem

java-programmer, editing nodes in JTree, icon problem I have a JTree with a child node that has a dropdown list in it. When I
click on the node to make the list appear, then make a selection, the
icon changes to what looks like a document icon.

My problem is that the document icon stays there after I make the
selection in the dropdown list until I click on another node. It's like
the process of making a selection is unfinished.

Anyone know what that is?

The combo box is still in editing state when you select a value. You could add an action listener to the combo box (problem for reselecting the same value) and stop the editing when you receive an action event.

That's what I actually have. I have an ActionListener tied to this
JComboBox in the JTree node and in the ActionListener, I have a
stopCellEditing() call, but before and after that call I put an
isEditing() to see if it was in editing state and it returns false.

But if I click on another node after making the selection, then the
icon returns to it's normal icon; otherwise, the icon is the editing
doc icon after I make a selection and before I click on anything else.
