How to use 'deselectCell()' for switching between tables

Getting help Questions
1

with Handsontable 0.26.1 after change of a value in table1 I switch to table2, but get TypeError: priv.selRange is null. I made this fiddle and there I get TypeError: c.selRange is null – the handsontable.js there may be different to my local script. I can only navigate with the keys after I select a cell in table2 with the mouse (the selected or another).

As I didn’t find a similar problem in the web in general as on stackoverflow in particular – here I asked this question too –, maybe it’s something I overlooked. What have I to do, in order to get this behaviour without an error?

thanks for sharing the issue @stelo
unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a workaround. We need to check this code.

Hi @aleksandra_budnik,

thank you for your reply! It sounds so easy “deselect table1, select table2”, but it seems the cause for the error is only the deselectCell(), because I get the error even without selecting another cell.

Now I found a very humpy workaround, here is the fiddle. Instead of table1.deselectCell() I say table1.updateSettings({disableVisualSelection: true}). After a new selection in table1 (afterSelection) I have to set this to ‘false’.

The focus in table2 I get with beginEditing()/finishEditing(). Not nice, but the best solution for the moment.

pretty clever solution @stelo!
yes, the deselectCell() is the issue and it’s throwing the log.
