I have a problem with the jit.cellblock object: im using cellblock to display a list with information in one column and an option to delete this information in another column (per row). The amount of rows depends on the amount of information in the list that is to be displayed, like this:

This is something i found out by accident: assuming (and this is often the case in my patch) the created rows do not reach the bottom, respectively not enough rows were created to fill out the whole space of the cellblock so that there is some empty space below the last row; if one clicks into that empty space, it will always trigger the cell in the lowest row that sits right above the cursor. ...this is, at least in my case, very much unwanted behaviour and i have not yet found out how to make the blank space of the cellblock unresponsive to mouse clicks. is there a way to only make cells and not blank space inside the cellblock responsive to the mouse (without changing the size of the whole cellblock)?

I don't think there is a way to get around this behavior in the cellblock object. It might be worth sending a note to support asking to see if this could be handled some other way or an attribute added that turned this on or off. A workaround is to do something like I show in this example patch. make a bpatcher that can be placed on top of the cellblock and handle the mouse coordinates directly. this could be done more cleanly in javascript.

Hey! I will get in touch with support then. Your workaround is definitely a good solution for now, thank you!
