Description

I may be missing something, but the tabbing of this control doesn't seem to play nice with other inputs. For instance, if you have an input before the spreadsheet, trying to tab to the spreadsheet will jump right past it to the next input. Likewise, when you have a fixed size spreadsheet, it would be nice if tabbing at the end of the column would move you to the next row, and when in the last cell it would tab you to the next control.

Here is a simple jsfiddle demonstrating the issue. It would be nice to be able to tab from that first control into the spreadsheet, through the cells in the spreadsheet,and then to the last control.

Research direction

Start with the linked jsfiddle to reproduce the keyboard focus sequence: tab from the preceding input into the spreadsheet, through its cells, and onward to the following control. Trace the spreadsheet's focus and tab handling, then verify that fixed-size grids advance by row and leave the grid after the final cell.
