Confused about data grid options to allow scrolling/resizing.

[Darrel]

I'm trying to make a few of our datagrids that end up having way too many columns a bit more manageable for users. 

Setting the table to 'scrollable: true' seems like it should fix one issue and allow the datagrid to overflow with scrollbars, so you an scroll the table itself rather than the entire page. 

But when I add 'scrollable: true' to our datagrid, I get a very different result...instead of allowing the really wide table to scroll, in collapses all the columns to fit the width of the window. In some ways, this is useful--but not at all what that property is meant to do, is it?

Am I misunderstanding something?

Hello, Darrel,

Could you please provide a small example with your Grid configuration? Basically, in order for the scrollbars to appear, the width of the columns needs to exceed the width of the Grid. Here you will find a Dojo demo for reference. 

Let me know if that would be helpful.
