I’m using version 7.7.2

Sometimes my power table gets into a state where cell editing does not work. It happens every few days. The only way to fix it is to relaunch the client. I have the edit click count selection set to two.

When it is functioning properly it behaves like this:  
-Single click changes the selected cell border color to my “Selection Background” Color  
-Double click changes the selected cell border color to black, highlights the value in the cell, and brings up a touchscreen pad to edit the cell value. If I have a mouse plugged in the cursor remains Default.

When it is not functioning properly it behaves like this:  
-Single click does not change the selected cell border color. (However, the selected column property of the power table behaves normally)  
-Double click changes the selected cell border color to black, but does not bring up a touchscreen pad to edit the cell value. The value cannot be edited by keyboard either. If I have a mouse plugged in the cursor changes to text.

This problem was due to the table’s propertyChange script taking a long time to execute, and operators entering data very quickly.
