Description

Hi there,

I am not sure it is a bug or not so I am going forward to write it.

I am using

<div class='col-md-12'>
    <div id="journal-grid" ui-grid="journalGrid.options"
        ui-grid-edit
        ui-grid-row-edit
        ui-grid-cellNav
        ui-grid-resize-columns
        ui-grid-auto-resize
        class="grid mt10"></div>
</div>

The ui-grid-edit I think it allows to edit the grid inline. So when I click a cell in the grid it lets me in to the input to edit it. But when I switch window to copy some text and return the previous window where the grid is, the cell that I was editing lost the focus.

Is there a way to keep the focus even when switch the window and return back? Is it a bug or what I am asking is a new feature?

Many thanks..

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the focus handling in the ui grid edit module. Identify where focus is lost when the window loses and regains focus. Consider using blur and focus events on the window to preserve the editing state.
