Selectable - Focus

[Nick]

When making the scheduler selectable the Kendo framework makes a call to focus the control.  This causes different behavior amongst browsers:

Chrome/IE cause the browser window to scroll so that the scheduler is in view while FireFox does not.  The call to focus is causing us some issues - is the focus call important in this case?  If we were to remove the call would this cause us issues?

Note: This can be exhibited in the following demo http://demos.kendoui.com/web/scheduler/selection.html

Hello Nick,

 We are aware of this problem and will try to fix it for the upcoming service pack (due in Mid September). This is the time when we plan to remove the "beta" tag from the scheduler.

Thank you Atanas.

Are there plans to expose more events such as click or selected?

[Atanas Korchev]

Hello Nick,

Yes, we will definitely expose selection related events.

Is there a work around for Chrome / Internet Explorer so that the behavior mimics Firefox and doesn't scroll automatically?

[Nick]

The only work around we found was to set the height of the control to a size that fits entirely within the browser window.  This will cause the schedule to be scrollable itself but the browser will no longer try refocus your window since the entire control is now on the screen.

We need to focus Scheduler wrapper element when selectable feature is enabled and this is causing the odd scroll. Unfortunately we don't have control over this browser behavior and cannot prevent it.
