Not answered Checkbox column edit problem while batch editing MVC grid

Hi,

I'm using Telerik MVC grid batch editing feature as shown in the demos in the link below http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editingbatch

When the grid loads the checkboxes in the grid are disabled and I'm unable to check & uncheck them. The only way I'm able to edit the checkbox column is when I edit the column prior to checkbox (in the example in the above link that column is Last Supply) and then click the check box column (in this case Discontinued). So for any modification to the checkbox column I have to first edit the column prior to it and then click on the checkbox column in the same row to enable editing.
I'm able to observe the same behavior in the above mentioned Telerik demo link, so it’s not a problem with my code.

Is this the expected behavior or a bug? What if the user wants to just edit the checkbox column value and not any other? In my requirement I have multiple checkboxes in the grid and I want to give the user the ability to modify any value (i.e. any checkbox without editing any other column).

Thanks,
Shreejit

Correction in the above mentioned behavior. The checkboxes are not enabled if I directly click on the checkbox in the column. I need to 1st click somewhere within the column where the checkbox resides (not on the checkbox) to make the checkbox enabled and only then I'm able to edit the checkboxes.

This is not an intuitive behavior and the user could feel that these checkboxes are non – editable.

I just spent a day on this, I assumed that checkboxes weren't working too. Is there any reply on this? As stated above, the action is very non intuitive and most users would just assume it wasn't working. Will this be fixed in the future?
