The Description View allows users to set ... Description text for most/all EObjects or model objects.

But the actually committing of the EMF transaction doesn't happen until there is an unfocus on that view. Sometimes the change/edit will NOT commit and that's not good. We did this because we didn't want to commit each edit during keystroke events.

I think a better option would be to make the Description view READ ONLY and add an "Edit..." or "Change..." button to open a separate dialog. On Dialog "okFinish()" we would create/commit a transaction thereby insuring that we always commit.
