Hmm, that looks like a bug. Feel free to file it. You should be able to call stopPropagation. The code looks like it is listening to the renderer and the TextArea should be a child so if you cancel it before it bubbles up to the renderer it should work.
Another option is to track if keydown and keyup and respond to the endItemEditorSession If it is asked during an ENTER key.

Basically, exactly this: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/30/using-a-flex-textarea-control-as-a-drop-in-item-editor/ (see how you can hit enter in the grid cell, and enter multiline text). How does one do this in Spark? I've diagnosed the editor ending when it receives the keyboard ENTER event into DatagridEditor::editor_keydownHandler. I can't just cancel / stop propagation of the event / modify the event, otherwise the textarea doesn't add the CR. I can't override in some custom version DataGridEditor because editor_keyDownHandler is declared private. The DataGridEditor anyway is instantiated in an mx_internal function in DataGrid. It seems like this behaviour is burnt in and can't easily be reversed... ? -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
