Model/View: Custom Persistent Editor

[No-Nonsense]

I created a simple ItemDelegate that shows a custom editor on one of my TableView columns. Editing the items in this column works perfectly when using the standard mechanism (double-click on cell, make changes in editor, select another cell).

I made a change that the editor will be opened persistent on the current selected row:

void MainWindow::ruleTableViewSelectedRowChanged(const QModelIndex & current, const QModelIndex & previous)
{
	// Update persistent InputColumn editor.
	ruleTableView->closePersistentEditor(ruleTableView->model()->index(previous.row(), RuleTableModel::InputColumn));
	ruleTableView->openPersistentEditor(ruleTableView->model()->index(current.row(), RuleTableModel::InputColumn));

void MainWindow::ruleTableViewSelectedRowChanged(const QModelIndex & current, const QModelIndex & previous)
{
	// Update persistent InputColumn editor.
	ruleTableView->closePersistentEditor(ruleTableView->model()->index(previous.row(), RuleTableModel::InputColumn));
	ruleTableView->openPersistentEditor(ruleTableView->model()->index(current.row(), RuleTableModel::InputColumn));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now changes to the editor will not be saved when changing the row unless I hit enter while having the editor selected.

I tried the behaviour of a standard ItemDelegate (SpinBox) and the changes to it will be saved, so I assume I need to change my custom ItemDelegate to commit changes directly when something is changed and not only when setModelData gets called?

Thanks in advance,
