I still think this patch, which you did propose before is wrong. We
should do the validation when accessing the value of the cell. According
to the specification this gets done in NSActionCell for int, float and
string values, but not for the object value itself.
Which specific subclass of NSCell are you using? Perhaps the
implementation of this class is wrong.
