No way to programmatically unfocus CellNav cells when data and columns change

[StarFi55ure]

Im not sure if there's a way to do this. I update the grid with new data and new columns but the CellNav selection persists even after I call refresh or notifyDataChange with ALL constant.

I tried setting focusedCells = [], but that didnt work. Calling $scope.gridApi.cellNav.scrollToFocus(null, null) also didnt work.

This should get you what you want
if (document.activeElement != document.body) document.activeElement.blur();

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The selected cell still remains selected.

This is the line creating the problem. https://github.com/angular-ui/ng-grid/blob/master/src/features/cellnav/js/cellnav.js#L940
It is because the event type in the event never gets set.
See the documentation here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/$rootScope.Scope#$on

This work for me:

var dataCopy = $scope.data;
$scope.data = [];
$timeout(function(){ $scope.data = dataCopy; });

I made couple functions in cellNav module:

/*
* Remove focus.
* @return {void}
*/
gridApi.cellNav.clearFocus();

/*
* Set focus on cell in row/col position.
* @param {integer} rowIndex - Index of row.
* @param {GridColumn} col - Column object.
* @return {void}
*/
gridApi.cellNav.setFocus(rowIndex, col);

you can get modified code from: https://github.com/andrew2net/ui-grid.git

Don't know if it is exactly this you are after but it solved my problems :)
Somewhat hacky but here it is:

gridApi.grid.cellNav.clearFocus(); //To get rid of the highlighting
gridApi.grid.cellNav.focusedCells = []; //To clear all focused cells

@bazizten We have the same issue (the same as described here). Could you please tell where did you add the code?
