DataGridView leaves an empty row after escape pressed on new row

[Asif Mohammed]

Hello,

I have a datagridview bound to a database table with 2 columns. One is an ID column "NameID" which is hidden, the other is called "Name".

The schema picture is here : http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1251/dbschemaep9.jpg

What happens is :
1. Form loads with values from database inside the DGV
2. I press the checkbox to enable editing/adding etc in the grid (see code event)

3good. I click inside the NewRow and type "a" or whatever (something invalid) ...

4good. and press escape ... the row is deleted! (Just as I want it)

But... alternatively

3bad. I click inside the NewRow and type "a" or whatever (something invalid), then click outside the DGV on the checkbox or the button, the DGV still keeps focus as "a" fails validation and forces the DGV to keep focus, an error icon is also shown as normal

4bad. THEN I press escape ... and there is an empty row left! I have no idea why this happens as the focus never left the DGV (as far as I know) so I dont see why the behaviour is different.
