jQuery version 1.4.4 on jqGrid version 3.4.4 (I believe the same issue exists even on the latest version of jqGrid looking at the forum).

Issue: as soon as you specify formatter: 'checkbox', the checkbox cell edit does not fire at all. Only the beforeEditCell and afterEditCell fire but saving dies not occur.

editable: true, edittype: 'checkbox', editoptions: { value: 'True:False' }, formatter: 'checkbox', formatoptions: { disabled: false}

I tried some suggestions in the forum on how to get this to work but the best one even loses the checkbox box in the list. I want to keep the functionality as standard as possible and only need a “fix” (in case this is a bug) to get cell edit with checkbox to fire of an ajax save. I do have “select” type columns that work just fine and fire as expected upon hitting enter key, but the checkboxes don't.

What does work:
