The issue will not be fixed since there is a big chance to introduce a breaking change. Nevertheless, there is a simple solution that could be use. The solution is to manually remove the hidden column from the ClientState on the client. <script type="text/javascript"> function test() { var gridID = $telerik.$(".RadGrid")[0].id; var clientState = document.getElementById(gridID + "_ClientState"); var value = clientState.value; if (value) { var parsedValue = JSON.parse(value); parsedValue.hidedColumns = []; clientState.value = JSON.stringify(parsedValue); } } </script>
