NSArrayController and Auto Rearrange Content

I have a subclass of NSTableView that I use that allows the use of the 
return key during a field edit to move to the next row and begin 
editing. This works fine _unless_ the field I'm editing happens to be 
one that NSArrayController is observing and thus causes a 
rearrangeObjects call. When this happens my table view loses focus and 
its' textDidEndEditing: method is never called.

This happens even if the field in question is no longer the primary 
sort criteria. Turning off the auto rearrange content support of 
NSArrayController fixes it and calls my subclasses textDidEndEditing: 
method.

Has anyone else seen this and found a way to keep the focus on the 
table view after its' contents are rearranged like this?
