Arrow keys navigation bug?

Greetings.

I just tried a few ways of implementing the edit feature on my grid and stumbled upon the "edit on click" feature.

http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/docsExplorer/index.shtml?type=smpl
Grid -> Events -> Edit actions (check the "edit on click" checkbox)

If you click a cell it goes into edit mode. But when you now use your up or down arrow key you can move only a single row up or down, afterwards the arrow keys won't have an effect anymore. It's like the grid is out of focus or anything.

Possibly a bug?!

Also I'd really would like a feature, where you can define a cell like being always in edit mode (not just after clicking on it)
Then you'd be able to scan through the grid with the arrow keys and could start writing without the need to click the cell.
So an Excel-like behaviour would be really nice. Or a standard defined edit cell mode, always showing the edit mode.

Thanks,
David

You can try to use alternative key-maps

In case of "access" like key mapping - you can navigate with arrow keys in edit mode
