Default Combobox and data validation

Having some problems with this so I've been reviewing the "Contextures"
tutorials.
With the "DataValCombobox.xls" sample file, I entered an item (in the Combo
box) not on the list and when I clicked on another cell it accepted the bad
name. If I try to make the same error in the validation dropdown list (not
doubleclicked cell) it's not allowed.

Can anyone tell me how to ensure that the combobox entries are validated
when the box is left?

Also, is there a way to exit the Combo box with keystrokes and not have to
use the mouse to select another cell?
