Description

When scrolling in the grid with the arrow-down key held down and focused on an editable cell and enableCellEditOnFocus: true, the grid scrolls down, then jumps back up, and so forth. If the same is done with the focus on a column which is not editable, all is fine. I am assuming it has something to do with scrollIntoView() for editable cells and enableCellEditOnFocus: true

Research direction
Investigate the grid's scrollIntoView() implementation for editable cells when enableCellEditOnFocus is true. Focus on the scrolling behavior triggered by arrow keys. Look at the relevant source files in the ui grid repository, such as the cell editing and scrolling modules. Check if there are any existing tests or comments that address this behavior.
