Comments from a CAP member regarding the fix for bug#4274963/4256006:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

We can divide usage of tables into 2 categories:
- row oriented, where users navigate more frequently horizontally
- column oriented, where users navigate rather vertically

Unlike Excel, java applications are in most situations
database oriented which implies row oriented style and need for
horizontal navigation. That is why I understand You want to preserve
horizontal arrow keys. But why not use Enter? In JDK 1.3.x Enter moves
cell selecttion into the next row, wchich does not corespond with row
oriented style. More logically would be next (right) cell. If user
wants move down, he can safely use vertical arrow key.

I propose following:
- set default surrendersFocusOnKeystroke to TRUE
- add method "setShouldEnterMoveRight" with default value to TRUE

Editing of existing data is very frequently operation. Current
situation absolutely does not help users - thay have to double click
too frequently. By Java comunity it is perceived as bug, so I would
urge to reconsider backward compatibility. Everybody will be happy -
You even don't need to make survey - see comments on Bug Parade
and Java Lobby.
