Prevent row from shrinking when entering edit mode on a cell

[Nick]

I have some cells that contain a lot of text content, and they have a set width, so the content gets split into multiple lines, which is what I want. However, when I click on one of these cells to edit it, the row height shrinks down to "single-line" height, so you have to scroll through all the cell text to get to the place you want to edit. Is there an easy way to prevent that from happening? I could calculate the desired height based on the length of the text and the width of the cell and then set it in the PreparedCellForEdit handler, but that seems like a very hackish solution.

Hello Nick,

You can use the CellEditTemplate of the column and place a  TextBox with fixed height in the cell.
Let me know in case you need details on this approach.
Also if not applicable , we can think of another workaround .

All the best,
