Using 7.9.10, I have a template, which mimics a table row. This template is in a repeater. In this repeater I put labels to describe each “column”. This works find and dandy until the row count gets too large and the vertical scroll bar appears, then the labels don’t line up as things are pushed to the left a little.

Any suggestions on the easiest way to get around this?

I don’t think there’s a nice way to get around this, no.  
One way to do this might be to check if a scrollbar is being displayed on the template repeater, and resize your header group or show another resized header group instead (have a header group for both cases with inverted visible bindings)

Thanks, Nick. Kind of what I thought.

There was a feature request to add a header into the template repeater. I’m not sure where that ended up at, but IA did respond to it

Any update on this feature in 8.1?
