Description

Hi, When enabling column move and setting width (even for one column) to column in columnDefs setting (or using column resize) the movement does't work well.

Scenario:

  • 3 column
  • 1 and 3 don't have width setting
  • 2 has been set with any value in width section.
  • Try to switch between 1 and 2.

Result: if you don't drug 1 over 50%-70% of 2 width the columns wont be changed.

Research direction
Investigate the column reordering logic in ui grid, particularly the event handlers that check column widths during drag. Look at the source files related to column moving (e.g., 'ui grid move columns' directive). Check the existing comment on the issue for any additional clues. The fix may involve adjusting the threshold calculation when columns have explicit widths set.
