When investigating bug report #20884, I found that my change to NSEvent
had resulted in another problem. The values stored in Gorm files for the
action mask of cell subclasses become different. I had overlooked that
problem at the time when I made this change. It is now fixed in SVN, old
Gorm files will now again be loaded correctly, but if you created a Gorm
file including a cell subclass you should recreate this Gorm file from
scratch. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by this error.
