From what I've learned the problem is TextCardCell not getting disposed. The field type changes from text to checkbox but it's still going with TextCardCell.

Most likely caused by recent changes to the database by @richardshiue, however he is on leave at the moment.

Do you want to pick up this issue @zoli? Else I'll find some time to resolve it before version 0.5.9.

0.5.9 is scheduled for release on June 3rd, so still a little over 2 weeks left.
