FixedColumns and Scroller issue

tom99

As far as I understand, FixedColumns and Scroller should be compatible, at least this example page says so:
https://datatables.net/extensions/scroller/examples/initialisation/fixedColumns.html

However, in our application, when I scroll horizontally, the header row has fixed columns, but the body columns are not fixed. They are scrolling like if FixedColumns would not be active.

The same problem can be triggered on the example page above by scrolling all the way down and then back up and then horizontally.

Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Hi @tom99 ,

Are you able to reproduce the problem in that link you posted?

If not, we're happy to take a look, but it would help if you could link to a running test case showing the issue so we can offer some help. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Colin

I was able to reproduce in the example link using the above.

Ah, sorry, I entirely missed that line, yep, I'm seeing that, it definitely looks wonky. We'll take a nose and report back.

Do you need to mouse wheel all the way down and then back up? I've just tried clicking and dragging the scrollbar and it seemed to work okay.

I scrolled using the trackpad, not dragging the scrollbar. So I guess that would be the same as using mouse wheel

Yup - I'm a plonker. I see the issue now. That does look rather buggy.

Thanks for looking into it.

Just so this doesn't fall off the list, I've raised a jira, DD-668, I'll report back here when it's been progressed.

I can not find the DataTables bug tracker. Is this issue already fixed? Thanks!

allan

No - I'm sorry to say it hasn't. I've bumped its priority.

Allan

tom99

Thanks. Is the bug tracker public?

colin

No, it's internal only.

Any news on this?

Hi @tom99 ,

Unfortunately not, it's still in the backlog. Due to other priorities, it's unlikely to be looked at in the next few months, I'm afraid.

Cheers,

It is finally sorted now and will be included in the Scroller and FixedColumns releases later this week.

Hi @allan,
the sample page I mentioned when reporting this has the newest Scroller and FixedColumns (even newer than the download page) but I can still reproduce the bug there.

colin

Yep, definite regression there. I've re-opened that ticket (DD-668) and I'll report back here when there's an update. Thanks for letting us know,

Colin

Just to note this has been addressed. See Allan's comment on this thread.
