Sorry Dariano,

no meant, has not changed, even in 2.18.0  Revision: 2447 , the cursor
moves from top left to bottom right and return if using left/right arrow
key, or top to bottom and return if using up/down arrow key.

Oh,  tableview is a gambas written component in gb.form there I think
you find the problem.
