TableView: incorrect update of focusedCell on navigating with ctrl-up/down

XMLWordPrintable

      To reproduce, run example below and follow the steps as outlined.

      The expected behaviour on ctrl-up/down would be:

      - either the focusedCell is updated the same as when navigating with the undecorated nav keys
      - or the focusedCell is kept on the cell where the ctrl-nav started (astonishingly the behaviour in win7 explorer)

      Either way, the important part from a usability perspective is to _have_ a _cell_ that's focused, that is a target cell for starting an edit f.i. by F2.

       *
       * - click into any cell: focusedCell has both row and column
       * - move around with arrow keys: focusedCell changes both row and column
       * according to the navigation (expected behaviour)
       * - move up/down with ctrl-up/down: focusedCell row
       * keeps updating according to navigation, column is set to null (bug)
