SharePoint 2013: Missing Quick Edit "This control is currently disabled"

Symptom: 
You want to edit a list using the datasheet view (now called Quick Edit), but the Quick Edit option is greyed out.  When you hover over it, a message appears:
This control is currently disabled.
Problem:
In my case, it was because the list had a non-default style applied to the view.  It knocks out the datasheet editing.

Resolution:
I modified the view and changed the style to default.  Clicked on ok, then the Quick Edit was once again available.

Hopefully, Microsoft will address this.  It seems like a terrible bug.

  1. this can also happen if you do not have Tabular Editing (The Checkboxes) enabled in the view
