Data lab columns size and position reset after each refresh on MacOSX

[mbastian]

Data lab columns' size and position are reset each time the lab is refreshed. This is very annoying when switching from view or workspace or update values in the data lab.

Here is an example when switching view

1. Goto data lab
2. Change one column size and/or position
3. Goto Overview
4. Goto data lab
5. Column which size/position have been modified is reset

Here is another example when modifying a boolean value

1. Generate a dynamic graph
2. Goto data lab
3. Add a new column of type Boolean
4. Change this new column's size and/or position (extend it and/or move it before score column for instance)
5. Change one value of this column (from false to true): the column size and position are reset

This "bug" is reproducible on gephi 07 beta and gephi 08 alpha on Mac OS X

This bug is not related to the Mac OS X platform but is general.

Hi,
Yes this bug is general and well known, and if I remember right, it only happens to nodes table.

I tried to make netbeans Outline reload the tree data without setting a new table model but I found no way to do it correctly.

Edges table uses JXTable and this was fixed by not reloading the table model and using fireTableStructureChanged() when columns change.

I will try again to find a solution for nodes table.

Hey Eduardo, is this issue fixed already?

[eduramiba]

Hey,
I tried some things for updating the model without setting a new one but only got various exceptions.
Outline table is not ready for that and still has many bugs that I have needed to hack like this ae34e5c or the visual ones that can't be solved

[eduramiba]

This is fixed in 0.9 as we no longer use Outline table and only JXTable.
