[GH #3483] Can't easily select value in Cell Type "Date"/"Handsontable"

Hi,

let’s say we have a case when the cell type “Date” or cell type “Handsontable” is the last column in table. And the table itself takes the whole width of the screen.

In that case, it’s almost impossible to select a date/value - because the editor that opens goes off the screen (horizontal scrollbar appears, but when I try to scroll, the editor closes).

Please check these 2 examples:

I also recorded a video (GIF), so it’s clear what I mean. Here it goes:

Is there any solution to this?

Thanks,
Andraz

It’s not on our roadmap yet and it will be part of a bigger project. I will let you know when we start working on it.

Hi,

for me it’s still not working:

Editor still opens “outside” of screen and I can easily scroll (in my example, I’d prefer though that editor wouldn’t open to the right-bottom, but to the top-left of the cell).
