Comment (by mhugent):

 Hi sdikiy

 The reason is that QgsVectorLayer is not able to cope with geometry edits
 and attribute edits (uncommited changes) at the same time. It is a
 deficiency and hopefully it can be solved in the future. Because of this
 deficiency, the attribute table is modal for attribute edits such that
 user has to close it before doing further map editing. In the same sense,
 I commented out the code in QgsMapToolIdentify that would allow users to
 change values in edit mode.
