WPF DataGrid does not focus as expected when targeted by Label with an access key #5662
Description
This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.
I have a handful of views in which I define Label elements with access keys that target DataGrid elements. I would expect the behavior when I trigger the access key (alt+key or otherwise) is to focus the grid contents, much like what happens when I tab to the grid.
Instead, what I see is that a focus rectangle is drawn on the grid, but the focus is on the grid itself rather than its contents. As a consequence:
- no cells or rows are highlighted (if they aren't already)
- arrow keys navigate to adjacent controls rather than navigating around the grid contents
- text search does not trigger on key press
- pressing the menu key will successfully bring up the grid's context menu (as expected)
It is not until I hit tab that focus actually enters the grid contents.
Attached is a minimal example project including some Labels targeting DataGrids juxtaposed against a Label targeting a TextBox to highlight the behavior.
