Description

I am trying to add a new row and enter values, while typing if I make a mistake, I try to click in between the characters that I have typed and delete/correct the mistake, its not allowing to edit, instead it saves the row. This behaviour is observed if grid contains large number of rows, if I limit the rows to around 10, its working fine. Here is the plunker-- http://plnkr.co/edit/GL5sz3a3Ue59hP5kgARU?p=preview

steps: 1>click on add, 2> click on set focus, 3>enter sm data, 4>click on entered data

Research direction
Investigate the cell editing behavior when the grid has many rows. The issue mentions that clicking inside the cell while editing saves and exits edit mode. Check the Plunker provided for reproduction. Look at the ui grid source code, specifically the edit module and event handling for cell click. Consider if there is a debounce or event propagation issue that causes the cell to lose focus. Also check if the issue is related to the grid's virtualization or scrolling behavior with large datasets.
