Thanks. I see this. The setGridWidth method should be changed. I have the same problem in my project, I hope to correct this soon.

Best Regards

Tony

I submited this earlier today but I've been playing and can add some more behavior that I noticed.

If the columns don't fill the grid the grid remains unchanged.

autowidth = true

Everytime the grid is paged (next or back) all of the columns shrink EXCEPT the last column gets bigger and the grid shrinks by a few pixels.  Continous paging and the columns (and grid) keep getting smaller and smaller except for the last column get wider and wider.

thanks,  Jim

Here is one of my grids:
