      Tested:

      On current 6.2.2-SNAPSHOT

      Situation:

      One uses editors on the view's column in an app.
      Example code I  use:

                  name:
                    name: jcrName
                    nodeTypeToIcon:
                        event: icon-datepicker
                    editable: true
                    editor:
                      availability:
                        nodeTypes:
                          - event
                        nodes: true
                        properties: false
                      field:
                        $type: textField
                  
                  location:
                    expandRatio: 1.0
                    filterComponent:
                       $type: textField
                    editable: true
                    editor:
                      availability:
                        nodes: true
                        properties: false
                      field:
                        $type: textField
                        rows: 3
                  
                  date:
                    $type: dateColumn
                    expandRatio: 1.0
                    filterComponent:
                       $type: textField
                    editable: true
                    editor:
                      availability:
                        nodeTypes:
                          - event
                        nodes: true
                        properties: false
                      field:
                        $type: textField
                        converterClass: com.vaadin.data.converter.StringToDateConverter
      

      Problem:

      The editing works, but its behavior is quite cumbersome and not optimal in its use.

      Major problem:

      • One can not click into the edited/open text -> once can not set the cursor via mouse
      • When clicking onto the text, the whole text gets highlighted.
      • The only way  to edit it is:
        • first use a cursor right or left -> text is unselected and cursor is besides the text
        • and then navigate to the right spot to change.

      So for replacing 3 words containing 25 characters, you need to hit 25 times delete (or 25x (shift + right) and then delete), no way around it. and then for going to another word to replace you need to hit x times the right or left for  every single character to jump over.
