Hmm, yeah, we may have to detect double-click and avoid row selection in
that case.

Mobile login should work.  I can't vouch for every device, but I am able to
log in with my Nexus.

Fair warning on the grids...  To build these with the level of flexibility
required (arbitrary column counts and column resizing being the big ones),
we had to step outside of the Bootstrap mobile-friendly CSS and use
something called flexbox (which is native to modern browsers) instead.
 This means the grids today are not very mobile friendly.  However, flexbox
is div-based and very *cough* flexible, so we have the option of applying
mobile CSS specifically to the grid.
