I just noticed how my patch was implemented,

You added:
[data->fieldEdit interpretKeyEvents:[NSArray arrayWithObject:event]];
in theCocoa_HandleKeyEvent (and equivalent for pre 1.3), but as you cache the NSText, you should clean the buffer it contains, otherwise it will grow up at each keypress.

Something like:
[data->fieldEdit setString:@""];

must be done after each key interpretation, to prevent the NSText from growing madly.
