Hi, I have an issue where, from what I understand, you guys provided a chunk of custom code to my company a while back called AssignmentUI.
The problem that I am facing is that when i edit a cell in this AssignmentUI, it works, but the focus is always put back on the Gantt first column, breaking the user’s experience entirely.
I am trying with ClaudeAI to bypass this, but it is now telling me that there is a very aggressive refocus inside the core of the library.
Is there anyway to bypass or turn this off? Any insight for this?
I greatly appreciate your time. Thank you
Hello,
It’s hard to suppose what exactly goes wrong in your case, as I don’t see your code. It may be useful if you share a simplified code snippet so I can try to reproduce the issue and research a possible solution. Please make sure that the issue is reproduced there: DHTMLX - Gantt. Initialization.
Then, click on the Save button. After receiving the link, open it in another tab and check that everything is saved, and then send me this link. Or, you can copy the code from the snippet and send it in a text file.
Also, please note that the keyboard navigation extension works only in the main grid area. It’s not designed to work in other views, including the timeline. If you notice that you can move between elements in the resource timeline using the Tab key, this happens because the browser changes focus between HTML elements that have certain attributes, not because of Gantt’s built-in logic.
That’s why the focus behavior there may differ from what you would expect - it’s not controlled by Gantt and may appear inconsistent.
