Af:inputText not updated - related to component rendered attribute

Question

Hello,
i have a problem with displaying a value from backing bean in af:inputText component if wrapping component was not rendered before request.
markup looks like this:
<afh:tableLayout rendered="#{simulationBean.showTable}" >
       <afh:rowLayout>
        <afh:cellFormat>
           <af:inputText value="#{simulationBean.sd}" autoSubmit="true"
                        maximumLength="6" inlineStyle="width:40px"
                        validator="#{simulationBean.validateTableInput}"
                        valueChangeListener="#{simulationBean.tableInputChanged}"
                        id="sd">
           <f:converter converterId="scm.FCConverter"/>
          </af:inputText>
          <af:outputText value="#{simulationBean.sd}" />
       </afh:cellFormat>
   </afh:rowLayout>
</afh:tableLayout>There's a button on the page attached to the action, which sets showTable variable to false. And a second button with the action, which sets simulationBean.sd variable with different value in backing bean and showTable to true. So first, the inputText is hidden and then showed with some calculated value.
What is really strange to me, is that af:outputText (added just for that purpose) shows correctly new value, but af:inputText does not, there's not even call for get method for value of inputText.
If i remove rendered atribute from tableLayout, everything works. I removed all PPR, but the catch is somewhere else.

Thanks for your response, i'll give it a try.
I found out, that this problem is caused by immediate=true attribute on one of af:selectOneChoice components on page. If I remove it, it works, but i can't understand this behavior. Form submit after selecting a value in combo box is in a different request than button action, so how are these two connected?
