Description

I am having strange behavior with tabbing in the grid. The first four columns of my grid are non-editable, the 5th one is editable while the 6th is not. I am able to table all the way to the 5th column, but when i tab to the 6th it tabs out of the grid. I have the following on my grid ui-grid-edit ui-grid-cellNav ui-grid-row-edit ui-grid-selection in my js i have: enableCellEditOnFocus: true,multiSelect: true,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction
Investigate the cell navigation logic in ui grid, particularly the tab key event handling. Look at files like src/features/edit/edit.js or similar modules that handle cell focus and tab ordering. Check the comments in the issue for any additional context from the reporter. The issue reports that tabbing from an editable column to a non editable column tabs out of the grid, which suggests the tab handling may not skip non editable cells properly.
