Grid editing behaviour changed between v5.0 and v13.0

It's working as expected now. Thanks

Hi Ionut
Sorry for the delay responding here.
There was indeed a change to the default behavior here.
(Edit to add - this was covered in the change log backcompat notes for 12.0: https://smartclient.com/changes/?pro...t&version=12.0)

To reinstate the old behavior you can set the explicit listGrid.editSelectionType attribute to match the selection type for the grid as a whole (in this case setting it to SelectionStyle.SIMPLE)

Hi,

I'm working on updating smartgwt from v5.0(SmartClient Version: v10.0p_2021-05-26/LGPL Development Only (built 2021-05-26)) to v13.0(SmartClient Version: v13.0p_2024-10-05/LGPL Development Only (built 2024-10-05)) and I noticed some changes related to grid editing behaviour.

I attached a modified "Edit by Cell" showcase sample(added SelectionStyle.SIMPLE & SelectionAppearance.CHECKBOX). In v5 the rows remain selected while editing multiple lines, but in v13 only the last row edited remains selected.
