Vaadin grid, additional header renders other headers invisible

Denis Korekov

Hello there.

Situation: Assume you have a simple grid, with only 2 columns. First column is frozen. You're trying to join the 2nd column with additional header.

Problem: after joining the column, the column captions (in the header cells) of all columns disappear.

Code to reproduce:

Grid table = new Grid();
HeaderRow header = table.addHeaderRowAt(0);

Column c1 = table.addColumn("C1", String.class);
table.setFrozenColumnCount(1);

Column d1 = table.addColumn("D1", Short.class);
c1.setHeaderCaption("Frozen col");
d1.setHeaderCaption("1/10");

header.join("D1");
table.addRow("Example name", (short)25);

Results of grids with and without join are in the attachement.

Am I doing something wrong or this is a Vaadin bug?

Vaadin version: 7.7.0

Regards

Hi Denis,

You could join the columns such as:

header.join(header.getCell("C1"), header.getCell("D1")).setText("Joined");

Hello Goran,

You misunderstood. My intention is to join only one column, in other words just add a header with a caption for only one column.
The underlying reason for it: columns are dynamically generated (there can be 15 of them -> can be joined and works like a charm; if there's only 1 column after dynamic generation -> result above).

I would expect Vaadin to treat this 1 column the same way as 10 columns, i.e. just by adding a header above with a caption.

Regards,
Denis
