Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

If I have a table with many entries(lines) and some are not currently visible, the lines that are not visible will not be selected in the same way (or at all) as lines that are visible would. 

This happens when traversing down or up(using the arrow keys).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a CTab panel with a tab and a table in it
2. Make the CTab Panel small so that you get a scrolling bar on the right, making part of the table not visible.
3. Instantiate the table with enough items.
4. Create a TextBox that displays an information from the current line selected in the table.
5. Start traversing down from the top with the arrow key and the TextBox should stop retrieving information from the table once you reach the end of the "visible" part of the table, this is the bug.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
