& turns into & on jqxgrid scroll

[williamsc29Participant]

When I have text in a string field in a jqxgrid that contains a & character and I scroll the grid, the & characters get turned into & strings. If I resize a column or do other actions that cause a rerender (I’m guessing) the & characters will come back. I’ve tried this using both 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Here are my settings…

{
width: 670,
height: 1000,
source: ds,
sortable: true,
altrows: true,
enabletooltips: true,
editable: true,
selectionmode: ‘multiplecellsadvanced’,
columns: [
{ text: ‘Project Key’, columngroup: ‘ProductDetails’, datafield: ‘ProjectKey’, width: 250 },
{ text: ‘Project Name’, columngroup: ‘ProductDetails’, datafield: ‘ProjectName’, cellsalign: ‘right’, align: ‘right’, width: 120 },
{ text: ‘Due Date’, columngroup: ‘ProductDetails’, datafield: ‘DueDate’, cellsalign: ‘right’, align: ‘right’, width: 120 },
{ text: ‘Assigned To’, columngroup: ‘ProductDetails’, datafield: ‘AssignedTo’, align: ‘right’, cellsalign: ‘right’, width: 100 }
]
//,
//columngroups: [
// { text: ‘Product Details’, align: ‘center’, name: ‘ProductDetails’ }
//]
}

Hello williamsc29,

The issue you are referring to has been fixed in version 3.0.3. We were not able to reproduce it.

I see… this behavior is happening only under certain circumstances. I can still reproduce it if I click on the scroll bar slider, move it and release the mouse button only after I’m done scrolling. Scrolling with the mouse wheel works fine as well as “throwing” the scroll bar slider by sliding it and releasing the mouse button before the mouse movement is over. I’m using the latest Firefox as well as IE 9.

Hi williamsc29,

We are still not able to reproduce the issue. Can you reproduce it with any of the online demos, such as Spreadsheet? If not, we suggest you to download the latest version of jQWidgets again.

I cannot reproduce with the online demo. However, if I open the demo that came with the jqwidgets package download named “bindingtojsonstring.htm” and I do a search/replace to turn the word “Owner” into “& Owner” I can reproduce it buy running the modified demo and taking the action described above. This was done using the demo from the 3.0.3 version.

Hi williamsc29,

Your issue will be solved if you download and extract the latest release (3.0.3) again.

That did it, thank you! Sorry I didn’t do that the first time you suggested it.
