General Known Issue

Issue Description Status
On Internet Explorer 7 and 8 Array.prototype is extended with some helper functions On Internet Explorer 7 and 8 Array.prototype is extended with the following functions (by the infragistics.util files):
  • add
  • indexOf
  • copy
  • contains
  • insert
  • removeAt
  • removeItem
  • getEnumerator
  • count
  • item
  • getLength
  • clear
  • resize
  • filter
  • insertRange
  • insertRange1
  • clone
This affects iteration over an array with a for…in loop, as those functions also will be iterated.
Controls and features affected by jQuery 3.2.* Due to API changes made in jQuery 3.2.* versions some controls or control features may not function as expected when using them together with jQuery 3.2.*.

Editors Common Known Issues

Issue Description Status
Multi-line text mode not supported in an <input> base element If the base element is <input>, setting the textMode option to multiline is not supported.
Forced multi-line text mode in a <textarea> base element If the base element is <textarea>, the textMode option is set to multiline and cannot be changed.
Selection on focus behavior When the input element is a <textarea> (textMode=”multiline”) element the caret position behaviour can be inconsistent. In some browsers, Gecko-based (Firefox) and WebKit-based (Chrome, Opera, Safari) when a is focused, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the text by default, instead of at the end as observed in Internet Explorer. To provide consistent behavior the selectionOnFocus default value is set to selectAll instead of browserDefault
Some options cannot change values after initialization Changing value after initialization for buttonType, textMode, dropDownOnReadOnly, visibleItemsCount, and dropDownAttachedToBody options is not supported for igTextEditor. Additionally inputMask, excludeKeys, includeKeys for the igMaskEditor and dateInputFormat for the igDateEditor cannot be changed after initialization. Limitations apply for derived types where applicable.
Specific referencing requirements for the date picker igDatePicker™ is dependent on jquery-datepicker and requires reference to either jquery.ui.datepicker.js or to combined library such as jqueryui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.js.
Numeric editors limitations in Edit mode Numeric editors do not support group, or thousand separators and symbols, in Edit mode.
Changing locale dynamically for an editor not possible with Infragistics Loader Regional settings of editors cannot be changed programmatically when using the Infragistics® Loader.
Workaround
A post-back is necessary in order to change the regional option. Another workaround is to destroy the editor control, call the Loader to load with a different locale, and then re-create the control itself.
Spin buttons issue Spin buttons are rendered horizontally.
Minimum and maximum values on date editors Using new Date() for the for the minValue, maxValue and the value options can cause issues as it also has a time component that will be taken into account when evaluating limits (but not included and parsed from the default input format), so it's suggested to parse fixed dates or remove the time component.
Android Web View (chrome mobile and android internet browser) doesn’t fire keypress event Some features of the editors rely on keypress event for character recognition – which makes those features unsupported on some Android browsers during auto complete/suggest (IME) input. The alternatives in the new DOM3 UI events specification needs to be finalized in order to commit to fully supporting those features on android devices. Specific options affected in igTextEditor are excludeKeys, includeKeys, toLower and toUpper. This also affects continuous character restriction functionality during typing in the igMaskEditor and the derived igDateEditor. Validation before the editor accepts the value (on enter or blur) should still work as expected. All the numeric type editors should work as expected on android devices.
Exceeding Minimum and maximum values When you use the minValue and maxValue options in the igEditors, you should be aware that if you exceed the maxValue the editor will automatically revert the value to be equal to the maxValue property value. If you enter value that is prior to the minValue, the editor will automatically revert it to the minValue property value. In both cases you will recieve a visual warning that explains why the editor changes the value.
Note: This limitation is not valid for the igTextEditor, igCheckboxEditor and igMaskEditor.

igBulletGraph

Issue Description Status
Only one performance bar and one comparative marker supported The igBulletGraph™ control supports only one performance bar and one comparative marker.
No label collisions detection The igBulletGraph control does not provide means for detecting label collisions. As a result, when the space to visualize the labels is not sufficient, label collisions may occur.
Performance bar can be drawn only from the minimum scale position The starting position of the performance bar can only be at the minimum value of the scale, i.e. the performance bar cannot originate from an arbitrary position.

igCombo

Issue Description Status
In IE9 and lower versions placeHolder text is not previewed Input placeholders are simply ignored in IE9 and below
When virtualization is enabled, all ItemTemplate elements should have equal heights Misalignment issues may occur with the scrollbar

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igDataChart

Issue Description Status
First and last items appear half cut in financial series charts In a financial series, the first and the last data items do not appear entirely on the chart view but are plotted as if they are cut in half.
Chart animations are disabled when the axis range changes If you use the Motion Framework for charts and updated data causes the y-axis range to change, then all chart animation is disabled and new data appears immediately without any motion effect.
Monolith shadows do not allow for the blur effect to be applied to them When the useSingleShadow property of the series is set to “true”, the shadowBlur setting is disregarded and no blur is applied to the shadow. This is a deliberate limitation due to a Google® Chrome™ bug and extended to all major browsers thus ensuring consistent behavior across all of them. This behavior is subject to change once the aforementioned Chrome issue is resolved. >Workaround: If you need to apply blur to the shadow, use the Compound type of shadow (useSingleShadow = “false”).

Line series sometimes appear as filled shapes in Chromium browsers

This is caused by a canvas rendering issue in Chromium (affecting browsers such as Google® Chrome™ and Opera).

AddClientEvent method is not avaialable in the DataChart's ASP.NET MVC helper.

igDialog

Issue Description Status
Controls sized incorrectly when inside an igDialog and their width/ height is relative Controls inside an igDialog™ do not have correct dimensions if their width/height is relative. This is because any embedded controls are instantiated before rendering igDialog so their dimensions cannot be calculated correctly.
Embedded iframe (including in controls like igHtmlEditor) may reload and lose content Maximizing and minimizing the igDialog can cause frame elements in the content (including in controls like the igHtmlEditor) to reload. This is caused by the dialog moving in the DOM to position itself under the body of the document. Depending on configuration, pinning can produce similar behavior.

igUpload

Issue Description Status
Uploading of large files (50kb and above) fails when PipelineMode is Classic and Trace is enabled This is a third party issue and has been logged to Microsoft, for further reference you can check the state of the issue here.
Uploading of files fails on Internet Explorer 10/11 when Windows Authentication mode is enabled and the HTTP keep-alive timeout of IE runs out This is a third party issue in IE and its state can be checked here. A possible workaround is to make post requests to the server over a certain period of time (for instance if keep-alive is set to 120 seconds you can trigger a request every 90 seconds after the first upload) in order to keep the connection alive.

igGrid – General

Issue Description Status
rowTemplate option is deprecated As of 14.1 release, the rowTemplate option has been deprecated. This is a breaking change from the previous versions’ functionality. The igGrid™ now uses column templates for individual column templating.
Column captions not wrapping onto multiple lines Column captions (igGrid.headerText) do not wrap onto multiple lines. This is a breaking change from the previous versions’ functionality.
Inconsistent behavior when the touch point is sliding over certain UI elements The grid and its features may have inconsistent behavior when the touch point is sliding over particular UI elements.
Mixed/partial column width settings not supported The scenario in which some column widths are set in percentages while others are set in pixels (or not specified at all) is not supported.
Grid header and footer not rendering correctly in IE 7 When a grid width is not specified, the header and footer elements are rendered shorter than the grid in Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 7.
Incorrect grid features API calls’ behavior with <div> elements If a grid is instantiated on a <div> element, the API calls to the grid's features do not work.
Dialogs/pop-ups appear behind the records on Android 4.0.2 When the igGrid is running on Android 4.0.2 and has vertical scrolling enabled, all the popups/dialogs appear behind the records.
igGrid re-initializes when the combined height of header, footer and content exceeds the height set in the options When the sum of the height of header, footer and content of the igGrid is more than the height set in the options, the igGrid widget re-initialize itself with new height enough to have visible header, footer and content.
The showHeader option not working correctly When the showHeader option is set to false on grid initialization, setting it to true run-time using the API will not show the header.
Horizontal scrollbar visibility issues on Mac OS The grid’s horizontal scrollbar is not visible on Mac OS® when its Show scrollbars only when scrolling option is set to true. This is because the grid’s horizontal scrollbar has an overflow set to hidden.
With auto-generated columns, the source must contain key/value pairs When the grid’s columns are auto-generated (i.e. autoGenerateColumns is enabled), the source should always contain key/value pairs, otherwise the grid might not render correctly.
Defining a feature more than once not possible In JavaScript:
In both igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid™, defining a feature more than once throws an error.
In MVC:
In both igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid, defining a feature more than once in the MVC Wrapper, causes only the last definition to be taken into account.
Checkbox rendering not compatible with templates (row and column) When using templating and the renderCheckboxes option is set to true, the Boolean columns do not render checkboxes because it is not possible to examine if the Boolean column has a template defined.
Setting attributes to table rows with a row template not possible In both igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid, setting attributes to table rows cannot be done possible using a row template.
Calling API methods does not raise the directly related events. Calling API methods programmatically does not raise events related to their operation. Those events are only raised by their respective user interaction.
KnockoutJS observable array functions’ limitations The use of unshift, reverse and sort observable array functions results in incorrect visual appearance of the grid.
The id attribute is mandatory for the DOM control placeholder The id attribute should be set on the DOM element on which the grid is initialized. Grid use jQuery ID selector internally for faster selection.
Column keys which contain spaces are not supported Column keys are used for generating some DOM elements IDs. Having spaces in an HTML id attribute is not allowed according to the HTML 5 specification.
The contextMenu event is renamed to cellRightClick The event is renamed to be more self-explanatory.
Header text and sorting/filtering/gear icons are misaligned in IE8 This is a browser limitation due to IE8 not supporting css calc(). For details refer to: http://caniuse.com/#feat=calc
igGrid does not support column keys containing special chars - [, ], \, (, ), etc. The column keys are used in internal jQuery selectors for many of the grid's features. Currently the selectors are not explicitly escaped so any special characters in the column key would break the selectors.
When grid's data source is remote the custom scrollbars don't show on touch environments. When the data source is remote the custom scrollbars do not display on touch environments.
The scrollable container height is not properly updated if the grid's records are deleted directly via the data source. If the records are removed directly from the data source the scrollable container height is not properly updated and there may be blank space at the bottom of the grid.
On touch only environments if the height/width of the container is changed, the custom scrollbars don't get updated. This applies to changes triggered by different features of the grid as well, for example when hiding/unhiding summaries/filtering.
If the grid is in a scrollable container but has no scrollbar on touch you cannot scroll the scrollable container while swiping on the grid. If the grid has no scrollbars swiping on it should trigger scrolling for its container, however it currently does not.
Page cannot be scrolled in IE11 on touch environment when scrolling over igGrid with Selection enabled Selection applies "-ms-touch-action: none" to disable the default behavior of the pointer events in IE so that users are able to e.g. touch and drag selected cells instead of executing page scroll

igGrid – Data Binding

Issue Description Status
The LoadTransaction method must be overridden by the GridModel when binding to a DataTable/DataSet is used together with the Updating feature When binding igGrid to a DataTable or a DataSet and the Updating feature is used, the GridModel must override the LoadTransaction() method using a serializer which supports de-serializing Dictionary<string, string> to JSON.
Remote filtering, sorting, summaries, and grouping not supported with binding to a data table/set When binding grids to a DataTable or a DataSet, local configuration for the Sorting, Filtering, and Group By features is supposed be used, but a workaround for remote configuration is available, for Sorting and Filtering.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGrid – Unbound Columns

Issue Description Status
Remote filtering, sorting and grouping not supported for unbound columns The Sorting, Filtering, and Group By features do not work with unbound columns. These features are disabled for the unbound columns in the Columns collection.
The grid SetUnboundValues([Column key], [Dictionary of values]) method overload of the grid MVC helpers requires a primary key Using the SetUnboundValues([Column key], [Dictionary of values]) method overload requires setting a primary key.
Limitations to using the grid helper in the View Using the grid helper in an ASP.NET MVC View is not a valid scenario when the data source is remote and the MergeUnboundColumns property is set to true.
Unbound column values not updated when remote paging and unboundValues is used The grid displays same values for the unbound column when unboundValues is set on the client with remote paging enabled.
Limitations to using formulas in unbound columns Formulas cannot be used in the igGrid’s unbound columns when the MergeUnboundColumns option is set to true.
Unbound data values not persisted automatically in the grid’s controls If a row with unbound values is edited and committed, and the grid is rebound after that, the changes are not persisted.
Erroneous scrolling of the grid to top when virtualization is used A grid is scrolled to the top before any unbound column values are rendered when virtualization of any form of (fixed or continuous) is used and the setUnboundValues client API method is called.
Boolean unbound columns populated incorrectly when remote data is used When the MergeUnboundColumns property is set to false and remote data is used, then any Boolean unbound columns are populated with false.
igGrid’s getUnboundValues method of grids does not return unbound values in certain situations Using the getUnboundValues() client API method does not return unbound values if they are set through the dataBound client-side event.
Sorting, Filtering, and Group By not persisting state Sorting, Filtering, and GroupBy do not persist their state when they are applied to unbound columns. If the feature persistence is enabled (by default) and an unbound column is grouped/sorted/filtered, after invoking dataBind() of igGrid:
  • For GroupBy - the column will be ungrouped
  • For Filtering - the filtering expressions of the unbound column will be cleared
  • For Sorting - the sorting style applied to the unbound column will be removed

igGrid – Virtualization

Issue Description Status
Fixed headers always enabled (limitation) When virtualization is enabled, there is a limitation in the form of the fixedHeaders option being unchangeable and always set to true.
Grid height settings limitation The height of the igGrid must always be exactly divisible by the average row height. (The remainder of the division must be 0.)
Columns visible width settings limitation The columns visible width must be equal to the igGrid’s width (for column virtualization)
Keyboard navigation not supported for column virtualization (limitation) Keyboard navigation is not supported for column virtualization.
Limitation to applying cell classes Applying a specific cell class to every cell that is in a sorted column is not supported, i.e. applySortedColumnCss is automatically set to false.
When virtualization is enabled the autofitLastColumn is not effective When virtualization is enabled the autofitLastColumn has no effect, which will result in columns expanding to take up the whole grid width when the sum of the columns widths is less than the width of the grid (it will act as autofitLastColumn = true).
Column virtualization will not work when grid width is defined in percentage units When grid width is defined in percentage units and column virtualization is enabled (columnVirtualization = true) horizontal scrollbar will not render.
Fixed virtualization is not supported with RWD Mode Fixed virtualization depends on the row's height being constant. If the row's height changes the fixed virtualization will not work as expected. RWD Mode changes the row's height as it adopts to the screen size so fixed virtualization will not work as expected with it.
Column virtualization is not supported with continuous virtualization Column virtualization is supported only with fixed virtualization. When column virtualization is enabled(columnVirtualization = true) then the virtualization mode must be set to "fixed"(virtualizationMode = "fixed").
Virtualization and auto sizing of columns is not supported Auto sizing columns by setting their width option to "*" is not supported with virtualization.
Column setter is not working with column virtualization Using column setter ($(".selector").igGrid("option", "columns", [/columns definition/]);) will result in horizontal scrollbar disappearing.
When fixed virtualization is enabled tabbing from outside of the grid's content into the rows will focus the first visible row as opposed to the actual first row in the grid. When fixed virtualization is enabled and you tab from outside of the grid's content inside the rows the first visible row will take focus. Same applies when Shift+Tab is used when focus is on an element after the grid - the focus will be set to the last visible cell.
In Column Virtualization column widths are not respected Setting different column widths have little to no effect, because the content is shifted between columns during horizontal scrolling, but the visible columns width stays intact.

igGrid – Responsive Web Design Mode

Issue Description Status
RWD mode is not supported in IE8 RWD is unable to determine the mode in IE8. This feature is mainly targeted at mobile compatibility so it is not supported under IE8.
RWD single column template is not supported with any of the grid features, excepts Paging. The RWD single column template feature is supported only with the Paging grid features. All other grid features are currently not supported with this mode.
The custom scrollbars of the igGrid are not updated on mobile touch devices when Responsive feature is enabled and the device is rotated. The custom scrollbars height/width are not properly updated if the Responsive feature is enabled and the device is rotated so that the height/width changes.
RWD mode is not supported with Fixed Row Virtualization and Column Virtualization RWD mode only supports Continuous Virtualization

igGridAppendRowsOnDemand

Issue Description Status
AppendRowsOnDemand does not work on mobile touch only environments. When on touch only environmenst when reaching the end of the loaded chunks (loadTrigger: "auto") no new data is loaded. If loadTrigger options is set to "button", on touch you cannot scroll to the "Load more data" button.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridColumnFixing






Issue Description Status
Column fixing not supported for some igGrid features The Column Fixing feature of igGrid does not work with the following features:
  • Grouping (aka. Group By)
  • (Responsive Web Design (RWD) Mode (aka. Responsive)
  • Knockout library (KnockoutJS) integration
  • Unbound Columns
Integration of Column Fixing with these features will be implemented in a future volume release.
Misalignment of fixed and unfixed parts of the rows in IE9+ In Internet Explorer 9 or higher, if you fix a column in an igGrid with a large amount of records and scroll down to the middle of the grid, you will see misalignment between the fixed and unfixed parts of the rows. This issue is caused by the IE9 engine.
The column widths are mandatory and should be defined in pixel units The column widths are mandatory and should be defined in pixels units (either explicitly or using the defaultColumnWidth option). The grid width should be set either in pixel or percentage units.
The grid scrolls to the top, when a column is unfixed and continuous virtualization is enabled When you have continuous virtualization enabled and you unfix a column, the grid scrolls to the top.

The fixDataSkippedColumns and unfixDataSkippedColumns methods have been deprecated. 		Use the fixNonDataColumns and unfixNonDataColumns methods instead.
In Chrome and Safari when there is a caption with long text defined for the grid, the fixed column header's width will stretch to the length of the caption and the unfix column button may not be visible. This is a third party issue in Chrome and Safari. In those browsers the thead element, which contains the fixed headers, stretches to the full width of the caption, which may lead to the unfix button going outside of the visible area of the header (in cases where the column width is smaller than the caption width). All other browsers retain the same column width in the fixed grid area and don't exhibit this behavior.

The grid height cannot be set in percentage units.
 Setting grid height in percentage units is not supported.

Grid applies the focus to the unfixed part of the row when selecting is done through the row selectors. This is related to that the record is separated in two physical rows - for fixed and unfixed part. And only one element on the page can be focused.
On mobile devices when having Column Fixing, scrolling the fixed container doesn't display the scrollbars in the unfixed area. The custom scrollbars in the unfixed area are not displayed when the fixed area is scrolled.
Scrolling both fixed and unfixed area on the same time while on touch devices is not supported. Only one of the two areas can be scrolled at a time while on touch environment.
Caption rendering differs whether there is height set for the grid or not. 1. When there is grid caption and height set two captions are rendered, one for the fixed and one for the unfixed area.
2. When there is grid caption without height set only one caption is rendered for the grid.
The difference is caused by the more complex DOM structure used when there is grid height set.

igGridColumnMoving

Issue Description Status
Column Moving not working in IE 9 Column Moving does not work in Internet Explorer 9. This is caused by a bug in the jQuery UI draggable introduced in version 1.7.2 and resolved in 1.8.6. For more information on the bug, see jQuery UI Bug 5370.
Erroneous Column Moving behavior of in Google Chrome When the Column Moving feature is used with a jQuery UI version lower than 1.8.6, it causes the grid to be selected in Google Chrome.
Column Moving is not working with Column Virtualization Column Moving is supported only with Row Virtualization

igGrid - Multi-column headers

Issue Description Status
Multi-column headers feature is not supported with columnVirtualization When virtualization and multi-column headers features are enabled, only rowVirtualization is integrated. Column virtualization is not supported in this scenario.
Multi-column headers feature with collapsible column groups is not supported with column hiding When multi-column headers and collapsible column groups are enabled, column hiding is not integrated.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridFiltering

Issue Description Status
Simple Filtering does not work with Column Virtualization Filtering mode = "simple" does not work with column virtualization (columnVirtualization = true)
Advanced Filtering not working with OR filtering expressions The oData protocol does not support OR filtering expressions, therefore, advanced filtering can be used with AND filtering expressions only.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridGroupBy

Issue Description Status
Inconsistent date format in the group row and the rest of the rows When grouping by column that has data in date format, the format of the date at the top of the group (this format is automatically displayed when grouping), is different from the column format.
Grouping not working in IE 9 The Group By feature does not work in Internet Explorer 9. This is caused by a bug in the jQuery UI draggable introduced in version 1.7.2 and resolved in 1.8.6. For more information on the bug, see jQuery UI Bug 5370 .
Misaligned rows in IE 9 when grouping by column and collapsing all rows When grouping by column and collapsing all rows, the rows are misaligned in IE9 due to the specific way the browser handles collapsed elements.
Erroneous grouping when defining paging before grouping in MVC When using an MVC Solution and defining the Paging and Group By features together, the groups will be incorrect if Paging is defined before the Group By feature.
Incorrect filtering row area style in IE 8 The filtering row area gets the wrong style when Group By and Filtering are enabled together in Internet Explorer 8. This due to issues specific to the Internet Explorer 8 browser.
Row count for a group stays unchanged when the grid is filtered When Filtering is enabled together with the Group By feature, the group row count stays unchanged by design, even if the grid is filtered and the count of rows – reduced.
Incorrect row count for the second group when more than two groups are grouped together with remote paging enabled When more than two groups are grouped with the Group By feature together with remote Paging, enabled the second group gets the wrong row count.
Incorrect record count with remote paging and summaries When grid Paging and grid Summaries are remote and there are records with null values, the count of the records in the group is incorrect because the value is send as a null string from the server.
Exception thrown when the Group By feature defines column settings together with enabling inheritance If you enable the Group By feature and, in it, attempt to both define column settings and enable inheritance, a page exception will be thrown.
Values in a column grouped but not displayed correctly When autoGenerateColumns is set to true and a column is set to be grouped at initialization, the values in the column are grouped but not displayed correctly.
The groupedColumnsChanged event input argument ui.groupedColumns may be empty The ui.groupedColumns input argument of the groupedColumnsChanged event may be empty when a column has been grouped by dragging it into the Group By area.
Tapping the igTree inside the Group By modal dialog not working properly Tapping the drop-down inside the Group By modal dialog may lead to some layout problems on Android 4.0. The issue appears when the tree is shown partially, having a vertical or horizontal scroll.
Grouping not working with fixed virtualization The GroupBy feature of the igGrid doesn’t work with fixed virtualization.
Hiding a column shrinks the grid in Firefox When the GroupBy feature is enabled and igGrid doesn’t have column widths defined, hiding a column shrinks the grid in Firefox browser.
Remote GroupBy does not work as expected with Remote Paging. When remote Paging and remote GroupBy are enabled the page count and page size are incorrect.

igGridPaging

Issue Description Status
Paging events not firing at run-time The igGrid Paging events only fire when the UI is triggers a paging operation. They do not fire when paging options are set at run-time.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridResizing

Issue Description Status
Resizing not working with some jQuery versions igGrid Resizing does not support jQuery versions 1.8.0 ÷ 1.8.5.
Resizing not working with fixed and column virtualization The column resizing feature does not work when fixed and/or column virtualization are enabled.
Columns not resizing correctly, when column widths are not set (in Firefox) Due to a bug in Firefox, the igGrid columns cannot be resized correctly when the column widths are not set.
Columns not resizing correctly when column widths are set relatively (in Firefox) Due to a bug in Firefox, the igGrid columns cannot be resized correctly when the column widths are set relatively (in percentages).
Resizing a column occurs at an accelerated speed when the grid is scrolled to the far right. The resizing speed is accelerated when the grid is scrolled to the far right and a column is resized by dragging from its right edge to the left. This specific behavior is caused by the browser’s layout engine.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridRowSelectors

Issue Description Status
Row Selectors not working with column virtualization Row Selectors are not supported in the context of column virtualization. This will be implemented in future releases.
The igGridRowSelectors widget requires the Selection feature enabled The requireSelection option of the igGridRowSelectors widget is set to true by default and will throw an exception indicating that the Selection feature is required for using row selectors.
Selecting not working correctly in IE 9 In Internet Explorer 9, selecting using RowSelectors with or without checkboxes does not work correctly when the table is large enough to cause the page to have a vertical scrollbar and the user scrolls down. When the grid receives focus, Internet Explorer 9 scrolls the page back up and the selecting is either applied to the wrong row or not applied at all.
The Selection feature cannot be enabled automatically Automatically Enabling of the Selection feature does not work. The Selection widget is required for the RowSelectors to have full functionality.
"Select All" functionality does not work for remote Paging The enableSelectAllForPaging option is not working for remote Paging scenario.

igGridSelection

Issue Description Status
Cell selection in iOS does not work properly In iOS, when wanting to scroll the igGrid, the user should first tap on a cell and then swipe in the desired direction. There is a difference when scrolling the igGrid under iOS and Android due to the way jQuery Mobile handles the events.
Incorrect selection when selecting row/cell with continuous virtualization enabled When selecting row/cell of the igGrid while continuous virtualization is enabled, the grid scrolls down and a different row/cell is selected due to a bug in jQuery version 1.6.4. This problem appears only in this version of the jQuery library.
Text selection is not working when Selection feature is enabled The Selection feature disables text selection inside the grid by cancelling the selectstart event and as a result the cell's text cannot be selected.
Selecting a row in IE scrolls the row to most left in a grid with horizontal scrollbar Selecting a row in IE is applying focus to the row, which scrolls the igGrid all the way to the left.
Keyboard navigation not supported for column virtualization Keyboard navigation is not supported for column virtualization.

igGridSummaries

Issue Description Status
Limitation when using custom summary with remote data ASP.NET MVC helper wrapper doesn’t handle the custom summaries by default. Therefore, a custom summary should be created and calculated separately.
Only basic numeric formats supported The summaryFormat property supports only the basic numeric formats. For example, formats like $ .00 will not be able to display the $ sign.
Limitation when setting custom methods When setting custom methods, it is highly recommended to set the order and summaryCalculator options of the summary operands.

igGridTooltips

Issue Description Status
Tooltips display issues when moving pointer too fast over the cells If the user moves the mouse quickly through the control, the tooltip fade animation slows down the process of showing and hiding tooltips and can create display issues when the values are very small.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridExcelExporter

Issue Description Status
Saving exported file does not work in IE9 and earlier GridExcelExporter uses a Blob object to keep the raw data of the exported worksheet, which is not supported in IE9 and earlier: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob
Only part of the data is exported in Append Rows on Demand or remote paging scenarios The GridExcelExporter is entirely a client-side component and thus it deals only with data currently available on the client. In scenarios implementing Remote Paging and Append Rows on Demand when further sets of data are fetched through additional requests, this data is not exported.

Go up to Known Issues and Limitations Summary

igGridUpdating

Issue Description Status
Adding a new row with Updating and Virtualization enabled requires immediate committing Adding a new row is not supported when the Updating and Virtualization features are enabled while autoCommit is disabled. Virtualization is not aware of the newly added row when autoCommit is false.
Excel Navigation mode supported only for Cell Edit mode. When excelNavigationMode is enabled, navigating with the arrows is only possible with "cell" editMode. Other Edit modes (row, dialog, none, null) are not supported with excelNavigationMode.
Adding and updating a virtual grid doesn’t work if it is grouped When using GroupBy and Updating in a virtual grid, updating or adding rows will not work when the grid is grouped. If you ungroup you will see the newly added record at the bottom of the grid records.
Updating rows/cells when the Updating and Continuous Virtualization features are enabled while autoCommit is disabled is not supported. Editing rows/cells with Updating when the autoCommit grid option is set to false and Continuous Virtualization is enable will throw exception.
Keyboard navigation while in edit mode does not wrap-around if virtualization is enabled. When virtualization is enabled keyboard navigation with Tab/Shift+Tab when edit mode is "cell" and keyboard navigation with Enter/Shift+Enter when edit mode is "row" will not wrap-around. When reaching the last row/cell and navigating to the next one the first row/cell will not enter edit mode and the same will happend when reaaching the first row/cell and navigating to the previous one - the last row/cell will not enter edit mode.
Keyboard navigation not supported for column virtualization Keyboard navigation is not supported for column virtualization.

igGridHiding

Issue Description Status
Hidden column indicator is not displayed correctly when having MultiColumnHeaders. When hiding a root header element the hiding indicator may be shown under another visible column group, creating the incorrect impression that the hidden column belongs to that group.

igHierarchicalGrid

Issue Description Status
Screen taps misinterpreted on Android 4.* devices On Android 4.*-powered touch devices tapping on the drop-down in the Group By modal dialog in a hierarchical grid will often act on the grid cell behind the modal dialog.
Rendering issues in the hierarchical grid when features are referenced in a particular order The igHierarchicalGrid’s child layouts may have rendering issues if the Row Selectors feature is added after the Group By feature to the feature list.
Limitation for the primary key values igHierarchicalGrid uses primary key value of the parent layout to create child layout
element with unique id attribute (according to the HTML5 specification space charactersmust not be used in the id attribute value). When the primary key values contain invalid characters the DIV element cannot be selected with the jQuery ID selector.As a result features on the child grid may not work as expected. Example: Opening filter dropdown on child grid causes an exception.
Self-reference not working in MVC If you want to bind an igHierarchicalGrid to self-referencing data, the MVC pattern will not allow you to do this because of limitation in serializing.
Load-on-Demand not working with chaining It is not possible to enable Load-on-Demand in the View page of your MVC project.
Load-on-Demand without primary keys for the layouts throws an exception If you enable the Load-on-Demand feature and do not define primary keys for all child layouts, an exception will be thrown.
Some child layout columns are hidden or cut out When an igHierarchicalGrid has no width defined and the child layout has width that exceeds the width grid, some of the child’s columns will be cut or hidden.
Defining a feature more than once not possible In JavaScript: In both igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid, defining a feature more than once throws an error.In MVC: In both igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid, defining a feature more than once in the MVC Wrapper, causes only the last definition to be taken into account.
Client-side binding to XML Binding to XML is supported only for recursive schemas.
When Load-on-Demand is false persistence is not working for the child layouts When Load-on-Demand is false remote Filtering, Sorting or GroupBy are not persisted for the child layout. The persist option is automatically set to false for those features in this scenario.
The id attribute is mandatory for the DOM control placeholder The id attribute should be set on the DOM element on which the grid is initialized. Grid use jQuery ID selector internally for faster selection.
Column keys which contain spaces are not supported Column keys are used for generating some DOM elements IDs. Having spaces in an HTML id attribute is not allowed according to the HTML 5 specification.
Using virtualization with initialExpandDepth is not supported Currently when virtualization is enabled all rows are fetched as collapsed. Setting initialExpandDepth will have no effect.

Issue Description Status
Limitation of remote grouping in hierarchical grid Grouping columns from more than one layout (or from the root grid) does not work with remote grouping.
Erroneous remote grouping with Load-on-Demand If remote Group By is enabled with Load-on-Demand for the entire grid, the groups are incorrect unless you modify the action that returns the data that is being loaded on demand.
Exception thrown when the Group By feature defines column settings together with enabling inheritance If you enable the Group By feature and, in it, attempt to both define column settings and enable inheritance, a page exception will be thrown.
Limitation of remote grouping from different child layouts When Load-on-Demand is disabled grouping columns from different child layouts with remote group by will invoke the parent's DataSourceUrl instead of the DataSourceUrl of the child.

igZoombar

Issue Description Status
igDataChart Radial Series not supported igZoombar™ supports only horizontal zooming while Radial Series zooming makes sense only when done on both axes. Because of this, zooming Radial Series with igZoombar does not work properly.
igZoombar thumbnail not rendered when used with igDataChart igZoombar creates its thumbnail by using the options of the igDataChart control (which is referenced in igZoombar‘s target option). igZoombar trims off some of these options in an attempt to remove the clutter from the thumbnail. This can make the new option set invalid.
The clone and the target widget of igZoombar doesn’t synchronize automatically Changing the widget being zoomed by the igZoombar control does not update the clone automatically.
igZoombar does not work with igDataCharts with Stacked Series. The igZoombar creates a clone of the original igDataChart that it targets. By default the igZoombar infers the clone‘s options from the original chart object (refer to the clone option of the igZoombar). In the case of the stacked series, which have a more complex structure, the original chart modifies the series that the user provides internally. Due to this the igZoombar cannot obtain the original series and cannot recreate the clone automatically.

Infragistics Templating Engine

Issue Description Status
Infragistics Templating limitations Nested {{each}} templates are not supported.
Characters different from A-Z, a-z, 0-9, "_" are not substituted/recognized. Substitution expressions cannot contain written signs different from alphanumeric characters, numeric characters and underscore. >Workaround: If you need to use characters different from the allowed ones you can customize the following $.ig.regExp options $.ig.regExp.sub:/\$\{(([\w\$]+(\.|\s)?[\w\$]*)+)\}/which matches any substitution element in the template that is to be encoded before rendering or the $.ig.regExp.nonEncodeSub: /\{\{html\s+([\w\$]+(\.|\s)?[\w\$]*)+\}\}/ option, that matches any substitution element in the template that is to be rendered as it is. For example if you need to use a dash "-" change the expression like this: $.ig.regExp.sub:/\$\{(([\w\$-]+(\.|\s)?[\w\$-]*)+)\}/ and accordingly $.ig.regExp.nonEncodeSub: /\{\{html\s+([\w\$-]+(\.|\s)?[\w\$-]*)+\}\}/.
List of blocks is not supported List of blocks are not supported, which means the following - “{{if Condition1 }} Do Something {{/if}} {{if Condition2 }} Do Something else {{/if}}” is not a correctly defined block.
