subgrid & tab key behaviour

The TAB key escapes the subgrid completely and focuses on browser menu. Can this be resolved somehow ?
attaching onTab event to the subgrid did not help.

The alternative keymaps do not work for subgrid either.
The up/down arrows do not have any action on the subgrid.

Thanks

In which browser and for which version of dhtmlxGrid problem occurs for you ?

Both local and online samples works correctly
http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/extended_modes/pro_subgrids.html?un=1232040504000

There is no way to move focus by tab or key navigation from master to sub-grid, but after focus moved in sub-grid all navigation works correctly ( in borders of sub-grid )

The online sample contains the sub_row_grid excell, not subgrid (type=grid) but the behaviour is almost the same (both IE & FF 3.0.5) . The tab key at the end of the sub_row_grid doesn't go to the next row in grid but goes to the browser menu.

In subgrid (cell type=grid) the keymap is not working at all (nor tab , or up/down keys)  (Applies for both IE & FF)

Thanks

>>The online sample contains the sub_row_grid excell, not subgrid (type=grid)
actually it has mixed rows, while first is sub_row_ajax, the second and third are sub_row_grid

>>he tab key at the end of the sub_row_grid doesn't go to the next row in grid but goes to the browser menu.
yes, this is known limitation, the sub-grid and master grid only visually placed as single structure, but in fact their tab orders are absolutely different, and not linked.

>>In subgrid (cell type=grid) the keymap is not working at all
"grid" column type was designed as "rich select" which allow to select one of records and was not purposed for edit operations
