Column Selector Error

Ignition
1

I have a column selector in a window with a table. Every time the window is launched I get the error below. If the error pop up is closed everything in the window works fine.
Any idea what might be causing this?

Error Message

I don’t think that is the full error message. Is there more of a complete stack trace?

This is everything when I select full in the alarm window.

I see what the problem is. We’ll have it fixed in the next version.

In the meantime if you set the horizontal gap back to 5 (its default) the problem should go away.

Thank You!
Changing it back to 5 made the error go away. :smiley: Not sure why it was changed in the first place, was probably just seeing how it changed the layout.
It can stay set at 5.
