edit of label changes model, but label doesn't refresh [message #103161]

I can edit the label of a node and the model attribute that the label is
derived from changes to the new value. but when the in-place cell
editor closes the displayed label is still the old value. when I reedit
that label it in-place sell editor shows the new value, when I escape
the cell editor the label reverts to the old text! I put a break point
in the handleNotificationEvent method of the EditPart for the node but
it never traps, so that method is never called when the label is
changed. How do I force a refresh of the label after I've edited it?

Hi John,

did you modify the model code / does the EObject send notifications?

No I didn't modify the (model or EditPart) code generated. The model
code does fire a notification when the attribute is updated by the
editing (via the setAttribute method).
