Research direction
Start with the sticky-column handling around column.props, nameCellProps, and actionsCellProps in ConsoleDataView.tsx, then review the linked pull request #645 for the attempted fix. Reproduce the resizable DataView table behavior described for the Nodes list and verify that Name and Actions remain pinned during horizontal scrolling.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Description
After moving column definitions from the legacy title header text to the cell-based header shape (aligned with PatternFly DataViewTh / ConsoleDataViewColumn), horizontally sticky columns no longer stick (e.g. first column “Name” and last “Actions”), even though nameCellProps / actionsCellProps still set isStickyColumn, borders, and related Th/Td props.
Expected
When the table scrolls horizontally, Name (and Actions where configured) remain pinned like other PatternFly scrollable tables with sticky cells.
Actual
Those columns scroll away with the rest of the table; sticky behavior appears broken.
Environment
OpenShift Console (e.g. Nodes list using ConsoleDataView with isResizable).
Reproducible on views that combine resizable DataView tables + sticky column props.
Root cause (for maintainers)
The regression is not caused by dropping title in favor of cell per se. Header thProps (including isStickyColumn) are still applied via column.props.
