Combo in grid in 2.0.2 edit failure

I am trying to use a combo box in a grid, I want one where yo can only select the values in the combo and a second that allows you to select from the list or use a value in the list.

When I set the grid column to non-editable the combo box allows selecting values and displays the results in the grid after selecting. The one that does not define the column as editable alows typing in the column, but never updates the column value from the combo list.

I have trapped the selected value and short curcuited it to my DB update, but I cannot seem to update the displayed value in the cell. In addition, I cannot seem to find any event that fires after the editing so that I can check the list for a case different version of the same to prevent getting "ACER", "Acer", and "acer".
