+Summary: The propertygrid doesn't allow editing without workaround.
+
+Description of Problem:
+The PropertyGrid doesn't allow editing of members that require keyboard
+input. It does change color-properties and other properties that circle
+through lists but fields that require input from the keyboard can't be edited. 
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a windows form
+2. Add a property grid
+3. set grid.selectedObject = new Button(); or class of your choice.
+4. try to edit a textfield.
+
+Actual Results:
+The grid doesn't allow editing of members. It does change color-properties
+and other properties that circle through lists but fields that require
+input from the keyboard can't be edited. 
+
+Expected Results:
+To be allowed to edit fields that require keyboard input.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+It can be worked around by putting the field in a "invisible" TabControl,
+source excerpt:
+
+public partial class ObjectEditorForm : Form
+    {        
+        delegate void tickDelegate();
+        ...
+        Timer t = new Timer();
+        public ObjectEditorForm(ref object toBeEdited) {
+            grid = new PropertyGrid();
+            InitializeComponent();            
+            OldObject = toBeEdited;
+            newObject = toBeEdited;
+                       
+            t.Tick += new EventHandler(Tick);
+            t.Interval = 1;
+            t.Enabled = true;            
+        }
+        void Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
+        {
+            if (InvokeRequired) {
+                BeginInvoke(new tickDelegate(initTabs));
+                return;
+            }
+            initTabs();   
+        }
+
+        private void initTabs() {
+            t.Enabled = false;
+            this.OnMouseClick(new MouseEventArgs(MouseButtons.Left, 1, 100,
+10, 0));
+            tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage1;            
+            tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2;            
+            tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage1;
+        }
