Hi,
when using the SpanningDataLayer the Nattable TextSearch is not functioning properly. This can easily be seen in the NatTable SpanningDataLayer example when searching for "Row". it is not possible to get the next search result once the spanning cell has been reached. I have looked into the code and I think the GridSearchStrategy would have to be modified in order to honor the SpanningDataLayer. Currently the strategy simply looks into the next cell (which is spanned with the current cell) and finds the same "Row" label again. Since it is the same cell the current searchPosition is not changed at all and thus it is not possible to step out of the spannig cell even after consecutive calls to "next".

Does anybody know if there is some workaround to this?

Thanks in advance
Thorsten
