  Hi @ashwinrajagopal ,

  Calling columns.adjust() won't redraw the display - so the change in widths won't happen until the next draw (such as when the ordering is changed or a different page selected). The draw() does the refresh.

  Cheers,

  Hi @colin ,

  Thank you very much for the information . But when I am changing a value of dropdown in the table , it fires an event which does some data fetch so to adjust the newly populated data I am using columns.adjust().draw() but it will scroll up to the table header making the user confusing as the page is being scrolled up rather than staying in the specific row . How can we fix this issue ? Please suggest any solution if you could .

  Hi @ashwinrajagopal ,

  Try draw('page'), that may help. If not, we're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. 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 Thank you Colin . But still I am facing the issue .

  Actual issue is when I am trying to call adjust().draw(false) or adjust.draw('page') on an drop down change event which is placed towards the bottom of the DataTable
  ( where the scroll is down ) , will take the user to the title of the DataTable (scrolling up ) . I tried creating a test case as per the link
  live.datatables.net/bidarezi/2/edit

  you provided but it is not getting reproduced ) .

  Hi @ashwinrajagopal ,

  Thanks for the demo, but as you say, it's not reproducing the issue. Without seeing it, it's hard to diagnose and make any further suggestions.

  Cheers,

  Hi @ashwinrajagopal ,

  As I said in my last two comments, the best way to progress this is to provide a test case - without it, we're shooting in the dark.

  Cheers,
