Hello Andrei,
maybe you could attach a FocusListener to the TextCellEditor (more
specific: to the Text control you can obtain via
TextCellEditor#getControl()). Then your validation could be executed
when the editor looses its focus.

As far as I can see the cell validator is called on every change in the
cell (and this includes activation). This behaviour might be good if you
want to for example filter for forbidden characters or something like that.
I can not say if this is a bug or not, for me it is just a useless
feature. But since you have full control of the underlying Text widget
it is not difficult to work around (you can e.g. also put the
VerifyListener on the Text widget). Maybe that is also a reason why
nobody puts effort on that topic. An easy workaround makes the "bug"
unimportant.

Björn
