Thanks Alex, much appreciated. You where right, I didnt have it set up correctly, I was adding my keyboard listener to the KEY_UP event and needed to be listening for the KEY_DOWN event. With that change my text arrow navigation works great without changing parent list selection!
Now that is working I noticed another issue when navigating using the arrow keys. When my TextInput is selected navigation with L/R arrow keys is disabled and moves the cursor in the text field as expected. Up and down navigation is still supported and functional but what I found is that focus (input cursor) does not get cleared when I navigate the TileList using the U/D arrow keys...however, if I use the mouse focus is removed properly. Should the focus not be hanlded automatically, I have never had to manage it before? The list displays another ItemRenderer as selected so selection has changed however only my input field seems to be stuck in the "input" mode. How can I fix this, is this a job for the FocusManager I have not had to use yet?
