Description

I have this strange behavior in that when I try to use fixed headers the widths of the columns change from state to state.

Initial state:
screen shot 2017-03-07 at 16 52 16

Fixed State:
screen shot 2017-03-07 at 16 52 37

Reset state:
screen shot 2017-03-07 at 16 52 59

Note that the widths are different after the header has been "unfixed".

Any idea why this would be?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported sequence from the issue: record the initial column widths, enable Fixed Headers, then disable it and compare the reset state. Start by locating the Fixed Headers plug-in entry point; done means disabling fixed headers restores the original column widths consistently.
