When header in grid is hidden (either via CSS or via hideHeader property), instead of first cell (first header column cell) getting focus, pressing tab will just skip grid so it is impossible to navigate through grid, toggle groups etc.

Hello Miljana,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

I logged this one in our GitHub issue tracker here:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/issues/4902 

Please subscribe to the issue to be notified when there is any update. As a token of gratitude for reporting this to us, I updated your Telerik points.

As a workaround, use the focusCell method of the Grid and manually focus a cell when tabbing.

Please accept our appologies for the inconvenience caused.

Regards,
