[Gambas-user] Problem with tableview when in edit mode

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Doriano,

On my system, when I use the mouse and click on a different cell it jumps
just fine.
The behavior (the error) that you described occurs when I use the cursor
keys.

What I meant by different approach was perhaps you should use something else
other than the GotFocus event and LAST.Edit.  if it works on 2.0 but doesn't
work
in 2.15, 2.16 and 2.18 (Charlie users 2.18, I use 2.16 and the problem is
probably
not solved in 2.17) then it seems to me (and it's just my opinion) that your
code
needs to be somewhat revised.

BTW 5.0.3 is the latest Debian stable (Check
http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#stable).
Perhaps we use different repositories.

Regards,
Dimitris
