I tried to reproduce your issue with an editable datagrid. I edited it manually and threw different events to popup the notification. I have no problem with event like itemEditBegin or itemFocusIn but I have a problem when the datagrid dispatches an itemEditBeginning event or just a focusIn event. I can see there is something with the focus management as the datagrid looses its focus when the Notification closes but retrieves it immediately, this regenerates an new itemEditBeginning event and the notification comes back... and so on. For other "ok" events, the edited cell looses the focus if the Notification is closed manually, not if you let it go by itself using its timer. Maybe can you change the event you dispatch to avoid this bug. I will check why there is a difference of behavior with some events. Regards. Hi !

Here's what I have: An editable datagrid. I set focus in the first row, second cell on application startup. I also want to display a notification to user like "Start typing to create a new item". When I used your component, the notification displays, and the focus is still in the first row / second cell. But when the notification goes away, the focus goes away. This means the user can't just start typing. He has to click the second cell again to make it editable, and then type something. I believe this is due to PopupManager's focus handling. Not sure how this can be solved. TIA. Thanks Arnaud.
