Description

I can reproduce this issue from Flex 2.0.1 SDK through 4.5.1.

Steps to reproduce:
[Scenario 1 - Using itemRenderer]
1. Run attached application. (DataGridTest.mxml)
2. Click any row.
3. Navigate between rows using up and down arrow keys from keyboard.
4. Click any row again.
5. Try to navigate rows using keys.

[Scenario 2 - Multiple DataGrids]
1. Run attached application. (Root.mxml)
2. Click "add" button.
3. Click "add" button again.
4. Click any row.
5. Navigate between rows using up and down arrow keys from keyboard.
6. Click any "close" button.
7. Click any row.
8. Try to navigate rows using keys in remaining DataGrid.

Actual Results:
Up/Down key navigation doesn't work.

Expected Results:
Keyboard navigation should work.

Workaround (if any):
Listen for keyDown event on DataGrid and set focus to itself.
