Grid - Locked cells without content cause the row to grow larger

The Kendo-UI Grid supports the concept of locked columns that are always on the left side of the screen (in a non-RTL-world) and do not scroll. This makes it necessary to split the underlying HTML-table into two parts (one is locked and one is not). Kendo-UI takes care of syncing the height of the rows between those two tables.

However, if there are empty cells in the locked part, this logic produces results that make the row grow larger (higher) than if there was content. This DOJO demonstrates the behaviour. Using the Browser's DEV-Tools, you can see that rows without content in column A are 37px high, while those with content are only 36px high.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the follow-up.

I am afraid this is still unplanned but I raised its priority so it gets a front position in the queue.

While doing our regular housekeeping tasks, I have stumbled over this issue again. Are there any news on this?

Hi Michael,

Please accept my apologies for the typo - I meant height, not width.

This logic for calculating the height of the rows was considering the Internet Explorer browser and the Grid rendering there. However, as it is deprecated now we can change it so the row height is the same in empty and non-empty rows.

Here is the GitHub issue: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/7356

As a token of gratitude for reporting this, I have added some Telerik points to your account.

The width for the rows that have no data is dynamically calculated and populated with JS. I will need more time to investigate if the calculations are correct.

The issue is the height of the columns not their width.

Hi Michael,

Meanwhile, you can replace the locked columns with sticky ones so the Grid will render with only one HTML table and so this problem will be avoided.
