This article describes how to disable the resizing functionality for specific columns in a grid while all other columns stay resizable. This works fine, as long as the grid is not sortable: After the user tries to resize a non-resizable column for the first time, the cursor is set to "col-resize" every time a column's header is hovered, even outside the resize area and without trying to resize it. This DOJO demonstrates the described behavior.

We have found out that the DOM of grid column headers looks differently when the grid is sortable. Also, the style that sets the cursor is set on a different element and therefore no longer removed by the workaround proposed in the mentioned article.

This DOJO contains an adapted version of the workaround that fixes the issue.
