SelectEditor dropdown hidden

[AndreaCuneo]

In 10.0.beta3 the SelectEditor is working only using arrow keys. The select dropdown is not displayed.

If this is a feature, can you please hint me about what i should extend?

Please, prepare a jsFiddle

Here it is. http://jsfiddle.net/hU6Kz/2467/

Column B is using SelectEditor. As you can see, the dropdown is not visible while working with arrow keys.

Definitely, it's a bug.

If you can provide hints what I should looking for, I can try to work up a solution. I already spent time on this without luck. Maybe the dropdown is either hidden behind the table or the click on the dropdown is intercepted before reaching the select element.

I can see the <select> box in the cell, but after clicking on in the list doesn't show. I would guess that it has something to do with click event. Maybe some code invokes preventDefault() or stopPropagation() on event object?

[AndreaCuneo]

That was my guess too, but I don't know how to follow the event object that doesn't reach the DOM element ... and I think it should generate from it and then bubbling up. How can be intercepted before reaching a child element?

In any case, I don't know how i can intercept the click event and "follow" it. Do you have any "tutorial" on this?

we've found the preventDefault() blocking the display.
somewhere around l2700 on handsontable full
in : Handsontable TableView constructor there is an event listener

instance.rootElement.on('mousedown.handsontable', function (event) {
if (!that.isTextSelectionAllowed(event.target)) {
clearTextSelection();
event.preventDefault();
}

we've not checked a lot the purpose of the event so for our own purpose we've added a test : if the event target is a select, do not prevent. a better solution may(must) exist.

I have recently fixed this issue (81fc12c). My fix will be released in version 0.10.0 (final)

This should be fixed in 0.10.0. Could you please recheck?
