Summary: Sample population editor has multiple issues

Initial Comment:
Issues include:
* File cannot be re-opened after entering sample data,
* Multiple (re-)display issues - items not displaying 
in correct locations or at all,
* Keyboard navigation is basically impossible, must 
use mouse - should be able to type, hit <enter>, type 
more, etc...
* Initial value consists of a single space, which 
sometimes remains in the value and sometimes not, 
depending on usage (initial space shouldn't exist and 
spaces should be trimmed)
* Population validation errors indicate, for example, 
that "Instance '6' does not participate in required 
fact type", but doesn't identify which entity type 
instance 6 relates to,
* Validation isn't reliably performed when switching 
windows, or produces errors not mirrored in the other 
windows (error list, verbalization browser, sample 
population editor),
* Sample populations need to be able to be imported 
via CSV files, etc
* Need to be able to sort data by column headings
* When entering data on an relationship to an entity 
having a RefMode of ID, the selection drop-down 
should if possible display values from another 
already-populated candidate key.

I'm entering sample data into the attached model 
using some of the info from the Tue and Wed series at 
<http://street.orienteering.com.au>, if you want to 
attempt the same thing to see the problems.

The attached ORM file won't re-open any more, I get 
an "argument out of range" exception.

Ok, some more detail on what causes the "argument out of range" on reload.
It appears that after typing a row into a fact type, the last value is only
partially committed if you click away to another VS window before clicking
away to another row. This shows up as missing data in other fact type sample
data, and as exceptions on reload.
