 Description  « Hide
It's quite hard to use the keyboard when changing parameters:
  • You can't really see the currently selected cell. Pressing F2 very often opens the inline editor in the "wrong" cell. (One that I have not intended to edit).
    This is made worse by another problem:
  • When the inline editor is open, pressing "escape" should only cancel the edit. Instead it immediately closes the dialog, discarding any other changes I may have already made. Grrrrrr!

Which L&F does this happen under? I wasn't able to reproduce either of these problems.

Alloy (Idea Theme): Selected cell is not highlighted in any way. Esc commits the inline edit and the dialog stays open - it should cancel the inline edit instead.
IDEA (4.5 default): I used this when filing the issue. Both problems happen in this case.
Alloy (Default Theme): Esc works correctly! However selected cell is not highlighted either.

See attached screenhot (made with Alloy (Default Theme)): When I press F2 the "UIComponent" cell opens the inline editor - you can't tell this from the screenshot, right?

Also only the "Name" and "Any var" columns show the row selection highlight.
