Thank you for the quick answer. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feeling.

You seem to take this case as a normal bug case, but it's not like one 
sole bug: there are around dozen of inconsistencies and bugs all around 
(did you check the video ?). And I have much more I didn't show on the 
video. This is overwhelming and I won't do a report for each bug because 
they are all inter-related, and there are just too many everywhere.

This gives the impression I'm crash-testing OpenERP. Not the beta-tests, 
but the pre-alpha tests, these tests that are often (would I dare say 
'normaly') done before commiting in other project. I know this comment 
sounds harsh, but it's my impression. At that pre-commit stage it is 
perfectly normal to have a bunch of things to perfect here and there. I 
don't feel that launchpad bug reports are really adapted to report those 
bunch of pre-commit test result.

I would be happy to give you more time with a live screencast (ie on 
teamviewer) with skype or hangout on a big tour on this widget flaws and 
bugs, because I couldn't put them all on the video nor the bug report... 
(if this proposition seats you, my email, skype name, and phone number 
are all in the signature of this mail.)

Finding bug in this is as easy as having to work with it. Try these 
simple tasks:
- To create a new line with similar values than a previous line (this 
involves copy pasting values from the other line, and force you switch 
line...).
- add a prefix to 5 cells in a row (in first column and next try with 
second column). (this involves displacement between lines).
- Create lines with content coming from another application (involves 
switching out of the browser while editing a line).

Do not stick to only one given view. But check that it works when widget 
is included as a part of a form view... etc...

I would love to see a session of usability testing on this widget.

Anyway, thanks for reading and writing a potentialy great product !
