Cell selection with Shift + Click does not work correctly when there is a hidden column

The issue targets a Grid with cell selection and DragToSelect feature disabled where at least one column has Visible="false". With this configuration, when using Shift + Click to select multiple cells, the result is a mismatch in the cells that should be selected, after the position where the invisible column is placed.

Andrea,

In the scenario you describe (with column reordering enabled) the selection issue occurs even without having a hidden column. See this example: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/mJYhwJlK41fbwx4Z09 in which all the columns are visible. 

Follow these steps:

1. Move column Team5 between column Name and column Team, so that Team5 is the second column in the Grid. 

2. Select a cell in the first column, e.g., Employee2. Then Shift + click the second cell in the same row (in the Team5 column). 

As a result, all the cells in the row will get selected, instead of only the cells in the first 2 columns.

Let me know whether this is the behavior you refer to. Otherwise, please provide the exact steps the user should follow for the issue to be exhibited in the example I linked.

I can confirm that the same issue occurs even when moving columns (column reordering) is enabled. After moving a column, the Shift + Click cell selection is still mismatched when there are hidden columns in the grid.
This makes it really hard to rely on the grid’s selection features in scenarios with dynamic columns.

Please consider this scenario as well when fixing the bug.

I have also logged a ticket on this issue. 

It essentially make the grid not fit for purpose when using cell selection. This should be treated as a priority.
