Hi Michael, Thank you for the explanation. I was confused to see focused still set to true on cells, which is more prominent now with the introduction of `focusWithin`.
Deprecating `Note.setFocused` would need a major update across controls, whereas an update in Cell to use cell-specific focus property seems harmless. - Abhinay > On 22 Nov 2024, at 4:19 PM, Michael Strauß <michaelstr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > This was an unfortunate decision.
