I am working on a grid that has 3 requirements that seem to cause the bug:

• A FK column must have its lookup values loaded remotely
• The grid has sticky columns
• The grid is loaded inside a tab strip control

The combination of these 3 factors causes the grid not to load and results in a devtools console error. It's worth noting that removing any of the 3 bullet points above (e.g. NOT using sticky columns, NOT loading grid in tab control, or NOT have a remote FK column) allows the grid to load properly.

The error thrown in the DevTools console indicates that the grid's "tbody" property is not created at the time it is trying to call _setStickyStyles.

Before error is thrown (mouse is hovering over "tbody" property):

After error is thrown (look at console output):

I have upload a zip file containing a sample project that demonstrates the issue. When you launch the sample application, there are 2 links at the top of the page, "No Tabs" and "Tabs". The issue is reproducible on the "Tabs" page. Both pages use the same grid partial, but the "Tabs" page loads the partial through the tabstrip with a controller action. The "Tabs" page includes the 3 bullet points I indicated above that cause the problem.

The workaround I am using for now in my application is to NOT set the columns as sticky in my partial view. Instead, I set the sticky columns using the grid's API method "stickColumn" (https://www.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/documentation/api/javascript/ui/grid/methods/stickcolumn) during the grid's dataBinding event (to ensure sticky columns are set AFTER grid initialization). This allows the grid to load and sets the sticky columns appropriately.

Thank you!
