The example that you have posted here
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6349#c6
works as you expect with Scilab 5.3.0  64 bits / windows 7:

changing the edited value and pressing OK updates the text value
without pressing return in the edit field nor bluring the focus
except on "OK"

and (mis)works as you report in this thread, with 5.4.0.

So clearly there is a change of behavior from 5.3.0 to 5.4.0.
