Dear S-Plus community,

I have a data set with both numeric and factor columns. I try to add some additional data to this data set, by entering them in a GUI data window with the keyboard. Entering data in numerical columns works fine, but I have small problem with the factor columns; for some reason entering a value in factor columns fails on the first attempt; for example when I enter a '1' in a factor column cell, press the right direction key (or any other way to 'enter'), the '1' disappears and turns into 'NA'. However, if I step back to the same 'NA-cell' with the left arrow and enter the same '1' again, it works.

Thanks for any suggestions to solve this little problem!
