Research direction

Start by reproducing the horizontal-scroll behavior in a horizontally scrollable DataTable with fixed rows, checking whether scrolling works outside the fixed rows but fails when the pointer is over them. Locate the DataTable implementation and its existing tests; done means horizontal scrolling works consistently while the pointer is over fixed and non-fixed rows.
