Select cell type nav issue

[AMBudnik]

Demo: https://docs.handsontable.com/0.23.0/demo-select.html

1. Choose an option in select cell type (any at column B) and press enter to accept.
2. Try to navigate to other cell using TAB or arrow navigation.

Using tab doesn't allow to move between cells and arrow navigation opens select one more time to navigate through its options.

@AMBudnik Any idea when this is going to be fixed?

Hi @jdpagley

I am sorry but I do not have any news about this issue

[AMBudnik]

The issue is no longer replicable in v 2.0.0/ Please check that @jdpagley and let me know if you're still using the product.

The issue is still replicable https://handsontable.com/docs/7.4.2/demo-select.html

Tested using the latest (v12.1.3) select demo at https://handsontable.com/docs/javascript-data-grid/select-cell-type/#usage and it still works the same. Once a user confirms the choice with the ENTER key the list of choices is closed but tab doesn't seem to do anything. Tabbing again exits the table. While using a dropdown once we use ENTER key to confirm the dropdown choice we can use TAB key to move between cells. That's definitely an Accessibility type issue.

Hi @jdpagley We were able to improve the navigation of a select cell type in Handsontable v14.1.0 with this pull request #10673

We also verified that it's not possible to implement cell tab navigation when the dropdown list is opened due to the limitation of the native HTML select element. So at this point we can call this issue resolved.
