That's what I tried to tell you. You only have 1 ComboBoxCellEditor for
a column but you need one for *every* row. To give your users the
impression of DropDowns although the editor is not active you have to
put them up your own using the snippet i proposed and just at the moment
when the user clicks an CCombo (=starts editing) you hide it and let
JFace replace it with its configured ComboBoxCellEditor who looks
completely the same than the customly provided CCombo.
