Further, there is a contradiction in the documentation on the Wiki.

https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.form/tableview says:
"Beware that the Edit or EditWith method must be called during the Click or Activate event handler, otherwise the keyboard 
management won't work!"

Yet the page for .Edit only mentioned the Click event. But since keyboard management does indeed work when .Edit is called 
withing the Activate event, I edited the .Edit page to include the Activate event in the warning. The .EditWith page has no 
warning regarding events.

So, either the documentation on the TableView page is incorrect, or this issue is a bug.
