Research direction

Start with the quick-start example linked in the issue, adding resizable: true to the column data or defaultColumnOptions on DataGrid. Compare the local and staging behavior and identify why the header cell collapses only after deployment; done means the header expands to fill the column in both environments.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Describe the bug

When resizable is set to true the columns work as intended but only locally. When the code is deployed to staging environment the header cells shrink. The same problem is seen with code from quick start and other examples.

To Reproduce

  1. Apply the code from the quick start page but include 'resizable: true' in column data. Alternatively set 'resizable: true' in defaultColumnOptions within the DataGrid component.
  2. Run locally and confirm expected behavior.
  3. Deploy to staging environment, header cell will have collapsed.

Link to code example:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-data-grid/v/7.0.0-beta.42 for quick start code

What the header cell looks like in local dev environment:
local

What the header cell looks like in staging environment:
staging

Expected behavior

Header cell should expand to fill the entire width of the column. Expected behavior is seen in local environment but not in staging.

Environment

  • react-data-grid version: 7.0.0.beta42
  • react/react-dom version: 18.2.0
