Horizontal scrolling in FixedHeader not working since version 3.0.0

humbaba

Hi,

it seems that horizontal scrolling does not work in FixedHeader since 3.0.0, i.e. when on scrolles horizontally the fixed header does not scroll accordingly. This can be seen on the example page https://www.datatables.net/extensions/fixedheader/examples/options/horizontal-scroll.html.
I can confirm that in version 2.1.2 the behaviour is as expected.

Humbaba

Check the compatibility table.

Specifically:

FixedHeader is not currently compatible with DataTables' scrolling options due to the fact that the scrolling operation splits the table into component sections.

Though that seems to refer to scrollX it may be the same issue. I would really like to see this resolved though.

I think that Humbaba might be referring to the window's scrolling rather than DataTables' scrolling options. In which case, yes, this is a bug - but the good news is that is already been resolved. The nightly version includes the fix and it will be released next week.

Ahh great. I was just having the window scroll but switched over to scrollX just the other day. I'll switch back and check out the nightly version. Thanks Allan.
