Thread Unbound Grid bug?
Mon, Aug 31 2015 6:28 PMPermanent Link

I am attempting to build an Unbound Grid.

The grid requires 5 columns.

As I add the columns using the '+' button, a bug appears that crashes the system.

Try it, just drop a Grid on a form and hit the '+' 3 times.

Just a guess, was there enough room for the 3rd column?
I have found that hitting the + when the width of the new column
exceeds the remaining space within the grid, that it does not behave
nicely!
My work around has been to make the grid really wide, then add the
columns, set their widths, then finally shrink the grid.

If that sound like your experience, then I have seen it too .. looks
like a bug.
But not bad enough to 'crash the system'.  I just zap the whole grid,
delete the orphaned columns from the Form;s type section, then drop a
new one and do as described above (should have reported it).

It does seem like a width problem. I created a narrow grid on a panel
and one click caused the problem. In my experience it does seem to
destabilize the EWB environment.

Thanks for the workaround. It is a bug that I expect shall be fixed.
