There are 2 issues
1. Sometimes horizontal scrollbar appear when its not needed. It should hide column responsively.
2. On the top table, press "click me" to add new row, it break the table measurement and keep showing horizontal scrollbar instead of being responsive. Calling columns.adjust() or responsive.recalc() cant fix the top table also.

My question is why do you want to use responsive and
scrollXat the same time. They are different/competing solutions to solve the same problem of keeping the Datatable within the container. I don't believe the intention or expectation is that they would be used together.Kevin
Correct. The idea of Responsive is that the table will never scroll horizontally, so x-scrolling is redundant.

My use case is set 3 column as responsive
allclass column, while all other column can be responsively hidden, that 3 column sometimes may not have enough space to show, I need scrollX for this,it used to not have this problem in datatables 1.10.x, (I can call
.columns.adjust.responsive.recalc()...to redraw it in 1.10.x, but now the top table forever have horizontal scrollbar after adding new row)I've never considered that use case before I'm afraid. It isn't something that I'd tested for and it isn't something that it was designed for. As I say, the idea what that horizontal scrolling and Responsive were mutually exclusive.
If it worked in an old version it was a total fluke - not at all intentional!
Sorry I don't have better news at the moment. It is certainly something that I can look at implementing if we get enough feedback asking for it.
