According to the documentation, I should be able to turn off keyboard navigation in a Kendo UI TabStrip widget by including "navigatable: false" in the widget configuration. However, I can't get this to work. I've made a boiled down (see below) that contains the bare minimum to exemplify my dilemma. Am I missing something or does this look like a bug in the library?
Below is a code snippet example. To give keyboard focus to the tab strip, just click anywhere in it. Then the arrow keys when pressed will navigate the tab strip when I expect keyboard navigation to be disabled.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tabstrip").kendoTabStrip({
navigatable : false
});
});

This navigatable
option was introduced for the first time on Q2 2014 Beta on June 25, 2014. I think that the release that you are using does not include it. Try using a newer one a 2014.2.716
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tabstrip").kendoTabStrip({
navigatable : false
});
});
