IE 7 Table problem

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hi,

I’m having problems with a Table in IE 7. I initially display so many items that a scrollbar is visible. After a search there are no visible items and the scrollbar disappears. After a new search I get a lot of items, but the scrollbar stays hidden. I can see a hint of it on the right side of my table, but it’s not rendered visible.

Problem doesn’t exist in other browsers, naturally. I’ve tried calling requestRepaints and all other methods I’ve found, but to no avail. I can circumvent the problem by removing the table component and then adding it again, but that’s hardly what I want to be doing and can cause headache in complicated screens.

Here’s the snippet I’m using to display the search results:

    container.removeAllItems();
    container.addItems(myService.search(searchTerms));
    setContainerDataSource(container);

Hello,

This sounds like a bug to me. Could you please file a ticket for it at
dev.vaadin.com
? A screenshot or preferably a test case would probably be nice for the R&D guys.

Thanks!

I posted a ticket two weeks ago, but I’m unsure whether anything is happening. All the responses from Artur refer to testing with IE 6, but the bug is only apparent with IE 7.

Is there any way to know if this bug is going to be handled? Even a workaround would be nice.

It seems that fix is probably NOT in 6.0.1 that should be released on friday. Sorry.

The issue will be fixed asap, but unfortunately I am not able to give a deadline.

No worries on the schedule, I’m just happy to hear the issue hasn’t been forgotten. Thanks for the info!
