Description

When having focus on a cell using cellNav and then focusing let's say an input outside the grid, then it's not possible to focus the same cell again. This results in keyboard nav not working after trying to target that cell again, and the input doesn't blur.

I've made a plunker for convenience: http://plnkr.co/edit/3KJfTXp4daTmr36pJBs9?p=preview

  1. Click any cell.
  2. Click the input above grid.
  3. Click the cell in 1.
  4. Try to navigate with keyboard.
  5. Look at the input and see that it's still focused.

Research direction
The issue involves refocusing a cell after focusing an external input. Investigate the cellNav directive's focus management, likely in the ui grid source code under the 'cellNav' module. Look for event handlers that track active cell and blur behavior. The plunker provided reproduces the issue. Consider how the grid responds to focus events when the target is the same cell again.
