Problem removing focused object from a table

Question

Hi.
I have a problem removing a component that is focused from a table. The
whole row is removed except a single component (JSpinner) in one row.
My table has three columns, the first two are String fields
(not editable) and the last is a JSpinner. Since there is no
Default cell renderer or cell editor for JSpinner I had to
create them.
So, if no element of the row is focused then calling the function:
public void clearTable() {
setVisible(false);
dataVector.removeAllElements(); // clear data vector
setVisible(true);
works just fine
but if a spinner in a row is focused them that spinner is left alone "floating" on an otherwise empty table.
Questions:
1) Any one has an ideia of what might be the problem?
2) Do I have to play with Focus to solve this? (hate the idea,
since always been told to avoid messing with focus, because
of the problems it normally brings)
Thanks in advance for the help,
Rgds,
Jorge

The problem is that you need to properly stop the editing operation first.if( myTable.isEditing() ) {
    // If you want to throw away any edits use...
    myTable.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
    // If you want to apply any edits, then end use...
    myTable.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
