Clicking on locked column header in Kendo Grid focuses wrong cell #8300
Description
Bug report
When a user clicks on a locked column header (for example for sorting), the focus unexpectedly shifts to the first unlocked column instead of remaining on the clicked header.
Reproduction of the problem
- Open the Dojo - https://dojo.telerik.com/bZUXgWQT.
- Click on the ID or Name header.
Current behavior
The visual/keyboard focus immediately moves to the first unlocked column. If the user clicks the second locked column, the focus shifts to the second unlocked column.
Expected/desired behavior
Clicking on a locked column should retain focus on that column, not move to another grid column.
Regression
The issue is a regression starting with 2022.3.913 version
