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.

In mx:Datagrid, you can easily declare that a column uses the enter
key, so you can enter multiline text into it.
Basically, exactly this:

(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... ?
