Bug when editing description/etc, then saving

  BUG: Let's say I open a soundfont and immediately change the description. I can't save, because Polyphone didn't register my changes to the undo history.
  - If I change sf2 name, Enter, Tab, or clicking another textbox will allow saving.
  - If I change description, only clicking another textbox will allow saving.
  - Saving should be allowed as soon as I type something.
  
  BUG: Let's say I first make a random edit (to enable saving), then edit the sf2 description and immediately press Ctrl-S (a common action). The changes were never committed as an undo step, and are lost when saving.
  - Polyphone should not lose user input.
  
  Less severe bug: If I edit a sample textbox or an instrument/preset table box, don't click out, and save (a very uncommon action), the changes are not applied. But at least they're not thrown away.
  
  Note: Text fields have a separate undo history, so Polyphone doesn't need to commit changes into undo history, until you unfocus the text box.
  
  Possible bug: If I've focused a text box, I can't undo global history. Maybe this is intentional.

  The interface of Polyphone is made of several fields (text boxes, cells, ...) and the global undo / redo is updated every time a data changed in the soundfont. This change occurs during the validation of the field which is during the "unfocus" event as you described.
  
  Here is what could be implemented:
  

  • when we start editing a field (text box or a cell in a table) the save button is enabled,
  • when we use the save button, the focus is removed so that every changes are taken into account.

  
  Local undo / redo will however remain for the text boxes.
