Description

As the title says, I have a grid in an iframe, that starts as invisible via ng-show set to a false condition. In Chrome, this works, and once the iframe becomes visible, it works as it should. In Firefox, gridUtil.getStyle() in the grid's controller fails on initialization, with the result that the whole grid is unuseable. I didn't try with other browsers

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why gridUtil.getStyle() fails in Firefox when iframe is invisible. Check if Firefox returns incorrect computed styles for hidden iframes, and explore workarounds like forcing a layout recalculation.
