Description

If you come into a page with a state that is predefined (say a set of user settings), several settings, such as the width, scroll, and the open state on groups, are not restoring correctly. Some of the settings restore correctly (pinned state, column order, grouping, filters), but the remainder come in only after clicking the restore button, if at all.

EDIT: Apparently I dropped a private plunk on here, let me try that again: http://plnkr.co/edit/FDcSEq

Research direction
This issue reports that certain state properties (width, scroll, open groups) are not restored correctly on page load when predefined state exists. The reproduction link (plnkr.co/edit/FDcSEq) is private and no longer accessible. To proceed, first confirm the bug by creating a minimal reproduction using the ui grid demo or a local setup. Then examine the state restore logic in the source code, likely in files related to grid state or storage. Check for related issues or PRs that might have addressed similar problems. Since the issue is old, it's possible the bug has been fixed in later versions or is no longer relevant, so verify against the latest release.
