The docs say that you can use commitEdit() to force a commit:

    Forces the current value to be taken from the AbstractFormatter and set
    as the current value.

It wasn't clear to me from that description that commits generated by the
class itself invoke commitEdit(); that would be a logical way to implement
it, but it's also possible that commitEdit() is a different code path
that calls internal methods that have the same behavior as an
automatic commit.

I'll give it a try, but since it isn't documented to work that way, I'd
be reluctant to use it in my real code since it could change in future
SDK releases.

Thanks,
Eric
