When you say select a row, are you referring to selecting a checkbox? If yes, the key used for interacting with the checkbox is space.

[Sayan-Kyn-Personal]

I am not referring to the checkbox but instead to the rowClick event as shown here 'https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-components-angular/blob/master/src/table/stories/app-table.component.ts'.

The table in our case does not have a selection column.

I am also facing the same issue when table row click happen's via keyboard enter, Though we have keyboard.enter attribute for row selection in component . Kindle refer the screenshot and https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-components-angular/blob/master/src/table/body/table-row.component.ts

TIA.

This issue seems to be occurring in the latest version of Chrome, whereas it functions as expected in older versions.
It is observed when pressing the 'Enter' key during a keydown event on table rows.
Old chrome version : event.path exists which we depend on to get the row index (event.path[0].rowIndex)
New chrome version : event.path does not exist

It could be related to https://chromestatus.com/feature/5726124632965120

old chrome version :

latest chrome version :

event.target.rowIndex can be used.
