I can't work out why my Table has a horizontal scrollbar with the ability to scroll to the right, when my last column ends 4/5th the way along the horizontal width? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/4/14b31e2aec581ea65c9d2a203626bb8ef1153999.png) Strangely, if the table height is increased to show all rows, then the vertical scrollbar greys out and doesn't let you scroll anymore: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/f/ff032c845e954a7ea393db3da145be50c6ecdf81.png) Any ideas how to fix this for when the height doesn't show all rows? I know I probably need to copy in the json here to make it easier to diagnose... I'll see what I can do later EDIT: The issue only occurs when the Table's `props.data` property is bound. Removing the binding removes the unnecessary horizontal scrollbar, despite the actual data not changing. ---

I remember seeing this problem before. I think it was related to the container the table was in. Show us the Project Browser view structure. ---

It seems this is what actually fixed it, as removing the binding in the actual View fixes it there too. Strange As soon as I add the binding back, which doesn't actually change the data, I get the horz scrollbar back.... ---

As a workaround, I've removed the binding and used a custom prop change event script to update the `props.data` instead 😕 Edit: Wait... this fixed by original table, but didn't fix another table within the same flex. I copied the fixed one and pasted it into the flex, and the copied one still has the horizontal scrollbar?? I'm very confused ---

What is your overflow setting? I have had some luck fixing issues by setting this to hide instead of auto. Frank ---

I've tried `hidden` everywhere I can find in the Table styles (and the flex container, but this shouldn't affect the Table's body) But the fact that the same table copied into the same _column_ flex (if it were a _row_ flex it might be a different story), where one has a scrollbar and the other doesn't, indicates to me that it's more a bug than configuration ---

Yes. Agreed. That seems buggy to me as well. I will keep an eye on this post hoping you get an explanation. I use a lot of table components in the applications I am developing. ---

Update: If I turn _off_ `props.virtualised`, the problem is there. If I turn it _on_, it goes away. However no matter how hard I try, I can't produce the issue in a reproducible way. It displays correctly in my standalone test View. However, I need to have virtualised off, as without it the mouse cursor becomes out of synch with the position of the scrollbar thumb (a separate bug). _This doesn't affect the table at the top - this one is set to virtualised off and it's displaying correctly!!_ ---

I've endured this issue with the horizontal scroll bar in tables for ages. Similar scenario - virtualized off due to scroll issues, data property bound to a script running every second. I only see it in a client, never the designer. To me it looks like a re-draw problem (or lack of) - the data produces enough rows to trigger the vertical scroll bar and the vertical scroll bar triggers the horizontal scroll bar to display. A few different events can make the horizontal scroll bar disappear: - show/hide a subview in the table - show/hide a dock that pushes content - resize the browser window It's become an OCD item for me and drives me nuts, lol. A number of Ignition 8.1.x versions ago, having a column render a View was sufficient to make this disappear; but this stopped after rendering performance improvements were implemented at one point. Only solution I've found now is to bind a custom property and use a Change Script to write it to the data property. ---

Same problem here. Thank you for the hint with the virtualized property, this resolved it in my case. But it is definitely an annoying bug / behavior. ☹ ---

This bug still exists only I cannot get it to go away by using a custom property and an edit change script. Only thing that would get rid of it for me is to set virtualized to true. I am on version 8.1.32.
