Same for me with lablgtk-2.14.1, glib-2.24.1 and gtk+-2.20.1.
When the application comes up, the first line is selected, and put in
editing mode, but when the selection moves, one has to activate
edition manually.

Very strange indeed. I don't think this is lablgtk related, as
the wrappers seems to be working as expected. Rather some strange
interaction inside gtk. Is somebody else disactivating the edition...

By the way, the behaviour is a bit clearer if the model is updated:

  authorCellrenderer#connect#edited ~callback:
    begin fun p s ->
      model#set ~row:(model#get_iter p) ~column:author s
    end;

I.e. this is only a problem of switching edition on. But I don't know
how to do that...
