Can I preserve editing state in ag-grid when updating other rows

Question

I'm trying to create an ag-grid where I may be receiving changes while editing a row. I've found that I can use api.applyTransaction to append new rows as long at they are below the row I am editing, but if I add rows ABOVE my row, the onCellEditingStopped handler always fires (though I'm not which of the possible reasons for cell editing stopping is the cause).
