Description pfelenda 2004-09-15 08:04:59 UTC
While is selected "Auto Resize" checkbox or click
to "Remove Property" button in table view mode,
you lose focused line (row) in table. The better
behaviour should be :

1) while clicking to resize button
  -> the focus should be moved back to last selected  
     row
2) while removing property next row (property)
should be focused.

In other words:

If the table has a focus and the user presses some button outside the table in
the table editor component, the table permanently looses focus. It should regain
focus after the action associated with the button is finished.

The workaround is to press Ctrl+Tab and then again Ctrl+Tab. The focus then appears in the table with properties.
Comment 3 Jaromir Uhrik 2009-05-12 12:55:30 UTC
Sorry I have changed the status to resolved by accident. Changing back.
Anyway I found another way of workaround: Push Ctrl+0 and then push Tab key.
