Re: Tables with collapsible rows

Tough call without further info. Is the table like a grid/spreadsheet
where arrowing through the cells would be expected behavior?

If the table is static, just data, but some rows can be expanded, I might
expect each expandable element to be a tab stop. But then, the table might
be considered a composite object, like a tree, where a tree as a whole is
just one tab stop and not each expandable branch, so that might be
appropriate for your case too.

So I can see all three behaviors depending on further info.
