Between release 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 columns overflow the table size even when they will easily fit

Between release 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, we are seeing that columns overflow the table size even when they will easily fit. If we refresh the page, they fit within the table correctly. Clear the cache, and reload; the problem comes back.
Here are some features of the table. —
<table id="staffTable" class="hover row-border nowrap compact" width="100%” >
"scrollX": true,
Interesting enough, a table on the same page with similar code works as it has for years. Something changed in 2.2.1 that introduced this behavior.

We have about 30 Datatables in our app, and about 5 are producing this behavior. Is there a workaround on our side to address this other than to stick with 2.2.0?
see photos of before and after page refresh.

DataTables 2.3.1 is the current release - what happens with that? Can you link to a test case showing the issue so I can investigate further?

There weren't many changes in 2.2.1.

I wonder if the change to outerWidth might be causing what you are seeing? I'd really need a test case showing the issue though.

Worth adding that it was 2.2.0 that I added ResizeObserver and it was a massive PITA to stop it from giving warnings. A lot of the changes were for that around 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.

thanks for the quick reply.
i have tried every release since 2.2.0 and they all show this behavior.
we actually noticed this when we went from 2.1.8 to 2.2.2.
as for a test case. the best might be just having you log into our application. I can send you details but in a private setting. how can i do that.

also note. if I remove ScrollX problem goes away yet i need scrollX for when the width of the window is to small.

You can send me a PM by clicking my forum user name and then the "Send message" button.

It will probably be Monday before I can take a proper look into it now I'm afraid (wrapping up for the weekend here in the UK atm ).

Thanks,
