When pressing ctrl/cmd key on focus out of cell is throwing error

[Manikandan-K]

When we press ctrl key when the focus is not in the handsontable it throws error 'cannot read property of undefined'.
When i debugged more in handson table source code i find out that it triggers setCopyableText() function. Because focus is not in the table, it is unable to find out selected text which throws error.

should we change setCopyableText to handle this case ?

This is reproducible even in the demo page: http://handsontable.com/demo/readonly.html

1. Click on the readonly cell and click somewhere outside of the handsontable
2. Keep the javascript console open
3. Press the control key / cmd key to see the error

Even I am seeing the same problem... I narrowed it down to this code block in editorManager.js file line:53

 if (Handsontable.helper.isCtrlKey(event.keyCode)) {
          //when CTRL is pressed, prepare selectable text in textarea
          //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3902635/how-does-one-capture-a-macs-command-key-via-javascript
          that.setCopyableText();
          return;
 }

The problem is setCopyableText() method is always assuming a current cell selection which is not true in the above mentioned scenario and fails. If my understanding is right, I could patch this method to return if there is no current selection.

Please respond & TIA

I'm also having this problem, this also happens with Command Key (Mac) and Windows Key (Windows)
