Column visibility breaks on hidden columns

[derouck]

When you have hidden columns when a table is loaded the labels will be incorrect. This can be done by having saveState and colvis enabled. Or it can occur if you hide a column by default.

I don't understand. Can you add code examples or a link to reproduction of the issue?

Ok, excuse for the very brief ticket. I should have given more information.

The problem occurs when you use titleFn function to manage table labels. And when you have hidden columns. This can be done through the dataTables buttons as explained in the tabular readme. Or it can be done by having a column disabled but that pbb doesn't make too much sense if you don't have the colvis buttons. I've updatet the GreatAlbums repo to the latest meteor and updatet tabular. Now the problem can be seen if you hide a table with the button and come back after visiting another table!

Let me know if I can help somehow.

@derouck Are you sure this wasn't fixed in the latest release? How is it different from https://github.com/aldeed/meteor-tabular/issues/354

Looks like this was kind of dropped, but I seem to be experiencing the same issue.

with code as :

    {
       data: "_id",
       visible: false,
       title: ""
     },
    {
      data: "name",
      titleFn: () => i18n.__('installation.table.name')
    },
    ...

I get

With the line commented out as such

// {
    //   data: "_id",
    //   visible: false,
    //   title: ""
    // },
    {
      data: "name",
      titleFn: () => i18n.__('installation.table.name')
    },
    ...

I get:

It seems with the column hidden it doubles up on the next title to compensate leaving an "empty column"..
